DLA

BBB799

Hi,

Our 4 year old son has not been formally diagnosed with ASD yet, although it seems highly likely that is what he has. He is currently undergoing speech therapy, occupational therapy and will be staying at nursery in September until he goes to school. He is also not toilet trained yet which obviously causes issues with nursery. Are we able to claim DLA now or is it best to wait until there is a more formal diagnosis? I wouldn't want to be turned down now, although presumably we could re-apply once diagnosis was received.

    Apologies, I didn't mean to be harsh with anyone. We have had a pretty stressful week this week with all the news we've had. Our life really has been turned upside down the last few months.

    Yes, it will be very stressful at the moment but now that you know what you are dealing with you'll be able to plan and think ahead when things settle down a bit.
