DISABILITY LIVING ALLOWANCE (DLA) SERVICES
If you’re applying for Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for a child and would like personalised support, you’ll find our DLA service below.
What is Disability Living Allowance (DLA)?
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a benefit that helps with the extra costs of caring for a child who has a disability, long-term health condition or additional care or mobility needs.
Unlike PIP, DLA is designed for children under the age of 16. It looks at whether a child needs substantially more care, supervision or support than another child of the same age who doesn’t have a disability or health condition.
A formal diagnosis isn’t required. Instead, entitlement is based on how your child’s condition affects their everyday life and the additional help they need.
DLA isn’t means-tested, so it isn’t affected by your income or savings, and parents, guardians, foster carers or someone acting in the place of a parent can claim on behalf of a child.
