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.

    Simply if you need assistance to care for yourself or for someone else to assist in the caring for you, it is too cover extra costs, normally the money gets paid back to the carer anyway(via you buying),, it is like a way for the government to pass liability back to you but give more independance to you. The money covers the extra costs of your care which can be self directed, it does not matter if you or working or not.

    I believe everyone with Autism should get the benefit, even if just to pay for social aspects of the condition alone.

    In reality the criteria is just a post code lottery or an Atos political Computer says no.. I say apply and keep applying, there is no logic in the government anymore, they have lost all creditiability when it comes to the welfare system, but what do you expect from the living sons of past lords and master of the past draconian plutocratic regime.
