    I have never known of anyone in my extended group of friends/ support group members, or indeed anyone I have referred to during my job (health visiting) who has been turned down by the family fund. That has been a very mixed group of children, some with major and some with more minor issues. For my own child, I completed the form and sent a copy of his DLA forms and copies of my CTC award. OP definitely apply, as although it can take several months to be awarded, you have a good chance of being awarded. One of my friends is currently having driving lessons curtesy of the Family Fund, and another was given £500 towards a holiday this year, having received a washing machine last year.
    Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it!
