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.

  • I'm still debating applying! I keep thinking 'but I'm his mum, I shouldn't be paid for it!' But then I think of the amount of money I spend due to his ASD.. Has anyone ever applied and been turned down for it for ASD? Just sounds so strange to me doing it.. But then I don't think of my ds as 'disabled'?
