What are the criteria with AS to get DLA?

IntenseWorld

Has anybody with ASD (adult) got DLA and what rate is normally awarded for AS?  I haven't had a reply yet but my eldest's DLA was refused so now I don't hold much hope that they will grant mine.

    That is exactly my point: you cannot expect people to undergo assessments that their disability makes them unable to do, or unablel to do reasonaly or safely.  The same should apply to people who can't manage any assessment because of any disability.  The assessments need to be accessible to the people who need them.

    What do you suggest should happen then? Someone shouldn't be able to be on ESA for years and years with no assessment.
