They were saluted by charity bosses who also praised The Sun for its Give It Back campaign.
The British Academy of Childhood Disability, The Children’s Trust and Together for Short Lives said it would help to stop disabled children’s families “going into crisis”.
Vickey wrote her letter because she got no help with seven-year-old son Oliver, even though he could stop breathing at any time of night.

WHY 'GIVE IT BACK' NEEDS YOUR HELP
- The Sun launches its Give It Back campaign to demand parents of disabled kids get the money and support they’re owed
- My son can’t walk or talk and can stop breathing at any time of the day or night – please give us the support we deserve to care for him
- I pray my son will live through each night and worry what will happen to him if I die – we desperately need more funding
- Parents of disabled children battling suicidal thoughts due to lack of funding and fear they can’t care for their kids safely

The Sun Says
IF Theresa May is still seeking a legacy before Friday, how’s this?
She could reinstate £434million of funds cut from families with disabled kids and making their lives impossible. They need respite care and vital equipment.
Thousands of readers have now supported our Give It Back campaign. But Mrs May and Chancellor Philip Hammond could solve it today.
They always said their focus was the “just about managings”. Here are some parents who can barely manage at all.
Help them, PM.
