well as the op of this thread thought i would give an update
just called the DLA to check they recieved the g24 i sent an to ask what the next step is
they said it will go to another descision maker an they will decide if the descision still stands or it goes to tribunral this process takes around 10 weeks so i guess im in the "waiting for the big brown envolope club" now
i also asked for a photo copy of every thing they had and how last time they reached the descision they did was told they only keep documents for 14 months so they will send what they can

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you hun.

then explain

In simple terms.
To claim EMA most parents would need to have been in receipt of tax credits and as such they would have to submit their tax credit award along with the EMA application.

EMA was never meant to be paid back it was a bribe to get kids to stay in education. However now the Tories have decided that children will have to stay in education until they are 18, they no longer have to bribe kids to stayy, you don't have a choice. Saving the taxpayers a few million.

Won't the disruptive ones that don't actually learn ruin the experience for the ones that do just like they did at school?

I don't understand how trying to force a teenager to do something they don't want to do will benefit anyone.

An old tutor of mine said this was the case - some of those on EMA would turn up and just mess about. If they missed one lesson, (they'd lose EMA) they wouldn't come in for the rest of the week.

I never went to collage as my mum & dad wouldn't let me, they insisted on me getting a job & paying rent.

If they had let me I probably would of found out about my Asperger's earlier & had some support in learning to deal with it.

Plus i'd have better qualifications & stand more chance of getting a decent job now.

If my kids want to go to collage i'll be 100% behind them but I really can't see the point in forcing them to do something that they don't want to do.

From the point of view of someone with 2 teenage boys with autism I don't see how anyone will be able to get them to do anything they don't want to do.

I struggle to get them to do anything for me around the house that they don't see as beneficial to themselves without bribery. :eek:

I don't know if that's just them being normal lazy, selfish teenagers or whether it's down to their autism. :mad:

LOL. Ask to see the size of his wallet, that's the important bit. Size does matter you know.

I'm not blaming anyone for anything just stating a fact as people were talking about the legal age for leaving school changing.

I think sunnyone is big & ugly enough to stand up for herself & doesn't need you brown nosing.

For the record I do think you all need a good shag as it would stop you being so bitter & miserable.

As I was at it until 6am this morning, I assume I cannot be accused of being bitter & miserable?

On a serious note, you do blame everyone and everything other than you for everything that is wrong in your life. It is either the fault of the surgeon, your parents, the autism that all of your family seem to have ... Perhaps you should start taking responsibility yourself?

Well obviously the fact that my parents abused me must of been my fault, I must of been really naughty & deserved the beatings.

I worked every weekend & school holiday from the age of 5 from 6am to 6pm obviously that was my fault too.

Was it my fault that ive had cancer twice or that I have asperger's.

Was it my fault that the father of my 2 sons having grownup in a kids home knowing how it felt to be abandoned then did the same to his kids as he didn't like responsibility.

Is it my fault that my surgeon didn't know what he was doing & fcuked up my surgery.

Is it my fault that i'm now depressed & on benefits.

Obviously that is a yes to all of the above but someone somewhere should of gave me some kind of counselling/therapy to be able to deal with my emotions & that is down to the NHS not me.
