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.

  • But Autism is a spectrum and many people with it are capable of holding down a full time job. If you exempt someone on the basis of their Autism, you have to exempt everyone from the assessement, else that's discrimination.

    Not every Autistic person is rightly eligible for ESA. I can think of at least one person this is true for.
