"From 1 April, the Family Fund will be able to help families living in England who have a severely disabled son or daughter aged 16. This extension of our age range is thanks to a grant announced by the Secretary of State, Ed Balls, as part of the Government's Children's Plan.
Applicants will need to fulfil the same criteria that covers families with 0-15 year olds, including not having been helped by the Fund in the 12 months prior to this application.We are delighted to have received the £8.4 million. This will enable us to help 17 year olds as well, but not until 2009/2010, at the earliest, as the money is to cover the three years 2008-2011 and is being introduced in a phased way.
Funding has been granted over 3 years and by 2010/11 it will include young people up to the age of 18. However, initially sufficient funding has only been provided to help those aged 16."
