Please Help Council Refusing to allow a move!

BTW Woodworker your advice to the OP about how "I would hire a carer", "I am pleased to say debt and mortgage free", "I wouldnt have any rent arrears" is not helping her situation.

It is very tiring, especially when it's coupled with the normal day to day tasks of being a parent (which are complicated by your child's disability) and all of the visits to doctors and health practitioners.

We had the LEA attempt to reduce our dauthers support at school because she was 'doing so well'. The fact that she was doing so well was because she was receiving support didn't seem to enter their heads, nor that 'doing well' meant that she was barely keeping up with the rest of the class.

We had to fight this all the way too. It's a constant battle that really takes its toll. You have my sympathy, especially as you're a single mum (I'm guessing this from your username, apologies if I'm wrong) and so all the responsibility falls onto you.

Kids eh, who'd have em?

Lol yeah!

We are having a statement review for the youngest one in September (both boys are statemented) and it always gives me a scare thinking they will reduce support when all the support they have given them is the reason why they are coping better at school.

Middle son (the one I have the DLA struggle over) had his review last month and support is to stay the same, 1 to 1 for 25 hours a week.

I was a married mum but became single nearly 3 years ago after nearly 16 years of marriage.

A little difficult since the OP won't answer all the questios asked. Silverchair has asked again about borrowing the money to pay off the arrears from family but this question is continually being avoided.

She said:

They also stated that even though my husband cannot have an essential operation until we move that they are not sympathetic to this situation but may change the decision in favour if we pay a lump sum off the arrears which we simply cannot do or i would.

I think we've given Woodworker enough rope to hang himself, if he had any sense he'd simply apologise to the OP and depart. He won't be able to because:

Signs and symptoms of cluster A personality disorders may include:

• Inflated sense of — and preoccupation with — your importance, achievements and talents (i.e. talk of being debt free and mortgage free)
• Constant attention-grabbing and admiration-seeking behavior (speaks for itself with the contributions to this thread).
• Inability to empathize with others (speaks for itself with the contributions to this thread).

I must admit that I admire how you're coping with all this. We just have our daughter to fight for and there are two of us. It must be exhausting for you just to get through a normal day, let alone to also have to fight the LEA and the DWP as well.

Mums truly are heroes.

No wonder you're debt and mortgage free, so was I at age 14!

My son's a much higher acheiver than you - he's debt free and mortgage free, and only 3 years old!

Nice to know you are not deviating from the subject and having a right old B*tch!, grow up.

SLK1984 - my advice would be is to totally bypass the Council now and make an appointment with your Local MP (preferably the opposition, they want your vote!!) I had a problem that I couldn't sort out due to bureaucracy and it was sorted straight away after a letter was sent from my local MP. It's bl**dy irritating when that happens, as they work from your efforts, but it's satisfying in that you know that they have had to back down. Good luck and make that appointment.
