AGgghhhh
I have worked so hard in the last few years to focus on moving into a catchment area for a good school.
i have been offered a place that I want but am now in a pickle for many reasons.
I don't have my child's benefit records and NHS card registered to my current address but my parents address for two reasons:
a) Being married to a doctor meant moving around. Since my child has been born we are currently in our 4th rented accommodation!
b) My child was identified with hearing problems about the age of 1 years. To help diagnose effective treatment for him I was referred to 4 separate specialist areas to assist in this. Given NHS waiting times and preference for continuous consistent care I did not want to move him away from this address to ensure he was obtaining the best care for his problem.
I have very strong evidence for living in the correct catchment area but virtually no evidence of the child at this address other than the fact that he is my child and I am responsible for him.
I have only one item that proves he lives with us and that is nursery statements everything else for him nhs card, benefits and his medical docor are all at my parents address.
I have contacted the local authority and explained my situation, they just told me to send in the evidence.
I feel very very upset by all this how did I miss this, has anyone got any experience of this and if so do you think I stand a good chance, my case is genuine.
