I used to assess DLA forms, it's been over 10 years so I'm sure a lot has changed but we used to tell parents to keep a diary for a couple of weeks/ month and make a note of all behaviours/ everything you do for your child to give the most accurate picture rather than just answer the questions on the forms. Things you take for granted that you do will be more recognisable then. Good luck xI feel you with regards to the DLA claim situation. Currently in the process of filling it in for my autistic child after putting it off for the longest time; it is a beast of a form. I’m finding it difficult because I downplay a lot of my son’s challenges, because I’m used to them being with him all the time. You really have to describe your child’s worst day and that itself takes a toll. It would help out so much but a huge part of me believes it’s going to be rejected (bit of a pessimist).

Business manager in the nhs and I make £24k before tax etc
How do you get into this? I could definitely do it.
I’m 24. Primary teacher in the Liverpool area. Working with SEN and loving it. Before tax I’m on about £28k - not sure on monthly take home as only got moved up the pay scale this month so back pay is affecting it.
PA in the midlands, £30k, 37hrs a week
I'm in Scotland and you just apply direct to the exam board, but you have to have a few years experience of and be currently teaching the subject at the level you are marking - primary teachers wouldn't be able to mark here as they aren't subject specialists (no disrespect intended - that's just how it works!) No idea how it works in England sorry! It's certainly a nice little top up earner if you can get into it though

Oh dang! Never mind!
Yes I think it’s the full time equivalent according to the pay scale.
mine won’t be that high ...between 12-13k per annum. New job which I start after Xmas.
There's usually someone at the drs who can help with the forms . My mum was to proud to claim when she became to poorly to work. Took a lot of convincing to claim and someone helped her throughout.
That’s great! Did you make a channel about your Etsy crafts and techniques if you don’t mind me asking? Or more mainstream?
I'm 27 working in Merseyside/Cheshire area.
I've been qualified 5.5 years started as band 5 and I've been band 6 for 2 years.
Technically not a ‘proper job’ but I’m a funded PhD student paid a stipend of about £15,000 a year. It’s tax free so get 1,250 a month
I'm a band 5 nurse in a medical ward, with shift allowance, my pay this month was £2016, I work 34.5hrs a week (£30,742 a year when at the top of my pay scale). I would happily work from home for less money . Starting a new post on the 30th so will lose my shift allowance as will be Monday to Friday
. Starting a new post on the 30th so will lose my shift allowance as will be Monday to FridayI work in special ed as a TA and take home is 15,500 when you do full time hours term time only. Shocking!
I intended on making a channel on behind the scenes with Etsy, etc. but I got more positive feedback from showing people how to make the kind of stuff I sold!! so.. I’ve morphed into more of a diy tutorial channel over the last year and that’s seen me grow to almost 100K. Not really “mainstream” as I keep my personal self out of it except for the occasional house tour/haul! Never set out for it to be what it is but, I feel incredibly grateful as I’m no where near as skilled or qualified as everyone on this thread.
Wow, you are skilled in a whole other way so don't put yourself down!I intended on making a channel on behind the scenes with Etsy, etc. but I got more positive feedback from showing people how to make the kind of stuff I sold!! so..
