Hello all,
I have just received the permission letter to home school my son who has Aspergers and suffers with anxiety, he and i are very excited, ( and a bit nervous if truth were told) I want to get it right!
Money is tight and causing some stress in the family (i do not, and now i am home schooling our son, cannot work). I wondered about applying for DLA. My son is quite high functioning but mainly struggles socially, eye contact talking to people unfamiliar to him, emotions the odd tantrum if routines are changed. He struggled at school with stress so i decided to remove him before things got difficult. He did not have a statement but struggled with organisation and following instructions due to poor short term memory.
Should i apply? I read there is an assessement by a doctor before they decide if DLA is granted, is that very intense? What does it involve? i do not want to put our son through any added pressure? would it be with our own GP?
Thanks for any help and advice in advance.
PUFFIN
