Tickled Pink

Good Luck Bonza!! :biggrin:

Hi bonza Just to say I'm not being unresponsive to your post, but we are on the exemption list for skills assessment so can't add anything to this question..... hopefully I can be more helpful on something else later!

Me too. It actually recommends in booklet 5 to do this.

Frustrating as it is, it seems it just comes down to being patient and waiting for emails to come through.

Thats really interesting and useful to know, thanks.

Hi Kelly Now I am not an expert on this subject, but I just wanted to try and give some response as you hadn't had one yet. As I understand it, the main purpose of the medicals seems to be to evaluate how much (if any) help a person may potentially require in regards to their medical condition, and how much this might cost the country/government. I think it may depend if your child needs. e.g. if he has any regular physio, speech therapy or medication. I understand that CP can be hughly variable, with some having such a mild form that it barely inhibits their day to day life at all, where as others are much more impaired by it, and need a lot of essential personal care. It really may depend where your so falls within this. I know my answer isn't really very helpful, I hope someone who has maybe gone through this may post later and be able to tell you much more than I can. I have seen that a lot of people, with many varying conditions have still been able to emigrate. Your sons CP may not mean the end of that dream. You only need to take a look at the CP atheletes taking part in the Paralympics right now to see how this condition doesn't have to stop people being whoever they want to be! Good luck.
