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.

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

    The diagnosis isn't meant to matter. However from previous experience, they take you more seriously. I was turned down on the basis of my Autism (I don't have a proper diagnosis) and my hyperacusis. I have been told by someone who has met me once I won't get it. She knows nothing about the issues I have.
