England- I have been living with my mum for about a month. i had to move back to hers with my 4 children 5,3, 1 and newborn.
my 5 year old suffers with sleep apnea, enlarged turbinates, suspected adhd and autism and anxiety. she recieves1-1 at school, counselling with children and young persons and waiting for the right to choose. My 3 year old is speech delayed, suspected autism and adhd referrals have gone in we are just waiting for an appointment he receives dla.

We was living in a 2 bedroom flat and bidding for a 3 but when i had the baby i couldn't cope i suffered massively with post natal depression. My flat was covered in mould, we had environmental health out due to rats on the roof. pleaded with the council for safe guarding with the children's medial issues, i was leaving my newborn and 1 year old in the street to carry my other 2 children up the stairs as the openings so small i couldn't put my buggy in the door way and my 5 year was constantly getting flare ups and not breathing in her sleep as she couldn't breath with the mould and lack of air flow so my mum said to move in with her to help me. The mould is so bad because i had a hole in my roof last year and the landlord claimed it was condensation for 3 months and refused to fix it so the whole roof was rotting.

She's just been told she's getting inheritance money and wants to buy a property but we've only lived here a month what will happen to us? I'm worried we're going to be asked to leave and stuck in a hotel or hostel. Im also worried about the disruption of moving them again especially the older 2. I am happy to cover the rent while im here or at least somewhere else is found but im my sons registered carer so i didnt return to work from my 1 year olds maternity leave so i can claim housing benefit like i was before but i have to be on a tenancy and my mum isn't sure how long she can cover the rent for and if they refuse to keep me here ill have no tenancy to send and claim for. My mum is also in a 3 bedroom council property. We are high priority due to over crowding at my mums anyway and the kids medical needs.

If anyone could help that would be amazing on what to do next. I cannot afford to privately rent a 3 bedroom+ either since loosing my job on maternity.

After speaking to my daughters school last week i pulled her teacher saying im concerned with the new senco and her dla form. the senco has emailed me saying she has confirms its dla as they did email as she was refusing to co-operate unless the decision maker did and then she said she doesn't really know my daughter so she told him she will speak to other teachers and dla "in due course".

I spoke to her teacher and her teacher has agreed she needs extra support she will do what's needed to dla for the senco and help us and also told the head of early years and they have apologised to me. I called DLA this morning for an update who have said the senco still haven't contacted the decision maker and he wont make a decision till speaking to the school so if i can chase the school up. I have emailed her but haven't heard anything back and i'm starting to get annoyed now as it's friday tomorrow and she just hasn't done anything but drag the process on i feel like.

Is there anything else i can do because she's really delaying things. I'm going to speak to her teacher today as my daughter isn't in tomorrow as she has out of school therapy with a social prescriber done through her GP but it's mid school day by the time we get there and done the day is gone. But i'm honestly at my whits end with her.

My ex employer has put through my notice pay and holiday pay for september which has meant i have had double earnings for that month and i only found out when UC sent me a notification saying i owe X amount and have to pay it back.

To clarify i only received one of the payments and knew of one the other payment i have no idea where it came from or why it is there. When i have contacted her lawyers as we're currently going through an employment tribunal they have not been responsive at all. I contacted hmrc who said it was a duplicate payment and the employer hasn't submitted a correction.

She is blaming HMRC saying it's an issue with GOV and she has done everything she can. Her accountant has also said that the 1st submission was incorrect so when he put through the second submission it would've subsided the first one. I have no idea how any of this works and just looking for advice. They have said they've tried to fix it but can't as the payment isn't visible on their end but i can still see it in my PAYE earnings this extra income for that month. Tribunal won't help and basically have said we need to sort it between ourselves but i feel like i'm arguing with a brick wall she isn't taking any blame or action

Hi,
looking for some advice. i just had a call from my daughters school senco department saying a number has called them saying they are a case worker for DLA asking about her claim. I confirmed we have put a dla claim through but the school have said they will only speak to dla through a professional email and the senco teacher didn't believe it was DLA hence the phone call and her being under a safeguarding from her biological dad so they are just being extra cautious.
For context my daughter was working with a complete different woman at school and her actual teacher (who i put down on the forms for them to contact) The support teacher my daughter had has suddenly left and i said it to the school what is going on because i've been tryin to request meetings and heard nothing. And they are still deciding what to do with the original support workers case load and have asked for me to send the reports from my daughter's social prescriber over to them.

I have rang DLA and explained this and they have said they don't do emails and only phone calls but i've explained the school won't respond to that only an email address. The new senco teacher(she's been at the school 2 weeks) is saying she's never heard of phone calls when previously doing dla at her old school and just making the situation a lot harder than it needs to be. She even questioned the fact my daughter is under children's and young persons and a social prescriber saying she's never heard of that either. I'm now just worried my daughters claim is going to be pushed back to the bottom of the pile or she won't receive the support she needs now because of this even though i have sent other medical reports.

Has anyone experienced anything similar or know what i can do?

Heya,

I put through my daughters DLA and received a text on the 25th March saying it had been scanned and i rang after i sent extra evidence to make sure they had received it and they had.

i called today 27th April and was told it was with a case manager. I was just wondering how much longer will i have to wait for a decision and how will i know if it's been awarded i live in a block of flats and post and parcels constantly goes missing.

I'm just worried that if she doesn't get HRC and HRM i'll have to put a mandatory reconsideration and it will literally take months i wanna get ahead of it while i can. I put my forms and what i written into my chat GPT and it said i have a high chance of HRC&HRM but i obviously don't know how accurate that is🤞🏼

Any advice would be appreciated.
