Awarded money never received

[Witch666]

We went to court in 2019 and I was made an SGO for my grandchildren.

I was awarded money toward a second hand car from the court from social services.

A year later I have still not received the money from social services.

Am I still entitled to it. Please advise

I was awarded an SGO for 4 of my grandchildren in 2019.
I was awarded a small amount of money toward a second hand car, but never received it.

Is there anyway I get social services to pay me.
I understand this happens frequently with them

Has anyone else had this problem.

Dear Witch666,

Welcome to the Parents Forum. I am Suzie, FRG’s online adviser. I am sorry for the delay in responding to your post.
I can see that children services agreed to pay you cash towards buying a second hand car. The court were made aware of this.
Normally any support that had been agreed is written down in a report. Have you checked the report you received from children services? Or it is written in correspondence?
You can then show this to the social worker and ask where the money is.

If there is nothing written down, then did you make a note of it? Or has the court made a record of it.

If you have tried this and not got as response, then speak to children services complaints and they will get in touch with the social worker on your behalf.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Suzie
