Product details

Background information: Financial help

Information

Thumbnail of Background information: Financial helpThis product is created by ESPP

Early Support is the central Government mechanism for achieving better co-ordinated, family focused services for young children with disabilities and their families. It operates across England and is based in the voluntary sector to promote partnership working with a range of agencies to improve services.

Caring for a disabled child may change a family's financial situation by: reducing their income; increasing living expenses; increasing travel costs; and making it more important to buy expensive items than it might otherwise be. There are several benefits that parents of a child with additional needs may be able to claim. This booklet provides information on what these families may be eligible for.
