He also loves doing crafts and creating stories. He is a very funny and affectionate child.

We are an experienced, involved, and supportive family working with a well established team in the Fleetwood area of Surrey.

I am looking for advice and/or info from your experiences. I am wondering if anyone has had success getting their taxes reevaluated form the birth of your child.

I was successful getting my son the disability tax credit but only from 2009 which is when we first saw his pediatrician. He was born in 2007 so technically, we should be able to get it backdated until then. However, if there is no hope of this happening, I will not pursue it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. My email address is spuffyobsessed@gmail.com

Thanks,
Lisa
