FGS we had a similar thread before where OP faced a barrage of judgement about this.

It's a simple question, my answer is to ask HMRC rather than (sometimes rude/mean) strangers on the internet.

I assume the council have offered this for a reason. perhaps the child has special needs and therefore - due to previous cuts - has to travel ridiculous mileage to and from school, previously - maybe due to work commitments it was impossible for OP to do this commute - but now circumstances have changed

But really it's none of your business. Don't judge OP, be nice.

I think we were judging the system not the OP?!!!!

People are being judgemental and imo downright horrible to the op(newbie) when it's the people that make these decisions should be the target.
The op is just taking what's offered, I don't expect any of you would turn down any financial help the state offered you?

I don't think anyone has been mean to the OP at all. Questioning the system maybe, but that's different.

So what you're saying is: we should pay people who have disabled children?

What's the basis for this policy?

I'm just curious as to the logic?

The topic has clearly ruffled your feathers, so why don't you put your keyboard down and contact the council and ask them to address your concerns, as the OP simply wants some advice on her personal circumstances and not be made to feel as if they have done something wrong.

It's not just the disabled who get free transport, low income families can also benefit from the scheme.Paying a parent of a disabled child to organize their own transport is saving money. Disabled children can be spread across a borough and need collecting from home and back again. Others the qualify under the Home to School transport scheme are picked up at one collective stop and back again.

Mckneff wrote the comment, not the council.

I was asking for the logic behind it.

My child is disabled.. And no I don't get paid to take him to school. He attends a mainstream primary school where there are not enough TA's to give kids like him support. Not aimed at o/p, just a statement of fact.

You cannot claim WTC for looking after your own child regardless of whether the child is disabled or not.
