Is this something that happens? My daughter was diagnosed in January, she is 15. Should she get any financial assistance or anything? I have no idea. No one has said anything to us and there's no information in the pack they sent us. I have no idea what she's entitled to. Can anyone shed any light?
You can claim DLA it is not means tested, just got to fill in a claim form .when she is 16 she then can claim PIP .
I don't know what any of those are. But I think my cousin has PIP and she has to be means tested. Thanks though
pip and dla aren't means tested .It is based on your needs ,my daughter gets about £150 a week she gets this if she is working or not. she would struggle to get a job because of her disability , so this is a real lifeline to give her the chance of a better life. If you feel your daughter would struggle to work needs extra help ,it would be worth helping her to get theses benefits.
Thanks, I downloaded a 40 page form from the gov website, now got to fill it in...She deserves all the help she can get, it's a bit late for me.
