DLA forms

NAS24550
over 7 years ago

Hi everyone I'm new to this site and to threads so please forgive any oops'es. 

We are applying for DLA for our some who is diagnosed with extreme low cognitive processing and autism. 

I haven't got a clue what I'm doing and wondered if there was anyone who helps families fill these types of forms out? 

Thanks in advance

    Yes I agree.. Citizens advice or Welfare Rights are good. Also a website called Benefits and Work which help fill in forms. I don't think there is DLA now? It's Pip Personal Independence Payment...? Please be sure to get help of some sort because filling ton the forms well makes a huge difference to what you are paid.

    Citizens Advice bureau are good at completing all sorts of forms, inc DLA.  Sometimes the local council may have a welfare rights/money advice section who can also help to fill the forms in.  Ring the council up and/or ask your social worker if you have one.

    Where abouts are you based? Most LAs have a parent support charity that parents can access, we have Amaze in Brighton and Hove who help with DLA ford and school issues. Hope that helps Blush
