    You have to be on income based JSA to qualify with a child under 5 or with disability premiums. (either within JSA or ctc)

    I have checked my bank account online again and up to now no CWP......even though other payments due tomorrow have shown up.
    Not like the department confirmed last week, as they did state we should have realistically received at least the first payment a fortnight ago.

    Will check again tomorrow now.

    4/4 payments up to date owed.

    Same here Di.....
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Hi Sue, hope your well.;)

    My sister lives just a few streets from me and said she checked her account and have already received the 3 one, and said she will keep a check on the 4th one, I told her me and others on here have not even received the first one yet........:eek:.

    Will keep a check on your posts Sue, hope this is sorted out for you.;)
