Disability living allowance

Does anyone get dla for anything related to their autism?  If so, what is it for?

  • I am currently awaiting a tribunal date for PIP as my DLA stopped after it was changed to PIP and they turned me down.

    I do have other medical conditions too but this is the first time I am claiming post autism diagnosis.

    Personally I am trying to express upon them how my problems with my exectutive function make everyday planning and organising very difficult.

    Also how my apsergers makes it difficult to socialise, always be appropriate with responses and how I have been in very vulnerable situations as I have not understood fully what was happening.


    I have noticed there is information on this website about PIP (which DLA is changing to I believe). It mentions the various criteria and areas that people may struggle. Perhaps this information could also apply to your DLA?
