DLA????

lala85

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.

  • Hi there.

    We get mid level for care and low for mobility and we're grateful (and possibly a bit surprised) to get even this! Our son doesn't run off though, and is now ok at reliably finding his way round our (very small) village. We did wonder if we'd lose some of our DLA when we recently had to reapply, but we didn't.

    Oh yes, we only applied once we'd got a diagnosis, so I don't know what difference that made to our application.
