Got this from the Yahoo Asperger's Support group I belong to:

Hi,

I just got a phone call from the family fund about my online application which I made yesterday. They are getting ready for their end of the financial year. They need to spend all their money or they will have to give it back to the government. so if you need anything get your application in now, don't let the government get the money back they may give less for next year.

For those of you who don't know, the Family Fund helps families with severely disabled children to have choices and the opportunity to enjoy ordinary life.

They give grants for things that make life easier and more enjoyable for the disabled child and their family, such as washing machines, driving lessons, hospital visiting costs, computers and holidays.

If they don't spend all their budget by the end of the tax-year, odds are that next year, they will get their funding reduced, so if you think you may qualify, put in a grant request NOW.
