DLA????

Hi,  I receive DLA FOr my son but started receiving it before his diagnosis of ADS.  I only receive mid care and low mobility.  I did question this when they first told me as I can not leave my son at anytime whilst out as he runs when sensory overload and does need support with most things, dressing, eating etc.  

Can anyone tell me if they receive high care and mobility for their child with ADS?  I know this is a personal question but I am looking into buying my son resources, pressure blankets etc but with what I receive i could not do this at the moment.

  • Don't worry about what rate of DLA you are getting, just be thankful we are still able to claim.  The highest rate is for severely immobile people, so kids on the spectrum are highly unlikely to qualify. 

    Have you tried applying for carer's allowance?  Ask at your local post office for a form.Smile
