Check if you can get Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for your child

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is extra money to help you with everyday life if you have a child under 16 who is disabled or has a health condition.

“It’s very common for a parent to think they won’t be able to get Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for their child when they can.

DLA isn’t just for children who are physically disabled. It can be given for a wide range of medical conditions including behavioural and mental health conditions as well as learning disabilities and developmental delay. You might be able to claim even if you wouldn’t describe your child as ‘disabled’.”
