It's ok to claim!

Did you know that you may be able to claim Disability Living Allowance for your child? It?s not affected by your savings or existing income, and it is intended to apply to children with Aspergers (i.e. not just those with physical disabilities). And if your claim for DLA is successful, you may then be entitled to Carer?s Allowance (and others). Back to top

Receiving these entitlements has made a real difference to a number of families. For some it has enabled them to reduce their work commitments so that they can provide better support for their children, and others use it to pay for activities they might not otherwise risk. For example, they?d take the child to a restaurant even though there?s a high risk that they may have to leave before the meal?s finished, or buy equipment for a new sport even though there?s a high risk the child may stop going (sound familiar?!).
