After waiting over five years for support, we received a letter from the HSE on a Friday telling us to reply by Monday or the assessment application will not proceed
A chara, – Yesterday I received a letter from the HSE asking me whether I wanted to proceed with an assessment of need for my child, a referral that started making its way through the system in 2019. The letter stated that the preliminary assessment my child had in 2020 did not comply with the Disability Act, as ruled on by the High Court.
However, the real stickler, the insult added to injury, the bit that makes you question your own sanity, is that the assessment officer writing the letter instructs us to reply by January 13th or the application will not proceed! We received this letter on January 10th. We have been waiting over five years for an offer of any help or support from the HSE, yet they deem this an appropriate turnaround time for a response.
Congratulations to the HSE on finding another way to reduce waiting lists without a child actually seeing a professional. – Yours, etc,Nineties hair is making a comeback. Here’s how to get a gravity-defying blowout at home‘I make a mark in the grass with my foot as I go.
