DS, 7, has possible ASD and attachment difficulties and is a bloody handful to manage. School are going for a full time statement and I was chatting with another mum today who asked if we were applying for DLA.
We are very lucky to be in jobs that give us a reasonable income, and to both work part time which is OK with some juggling. I can't work any less without actually giving my job up, so dla wouldnt help by fundin exta child care. There aren't massive extras needed by Ds at this stage because of his needs.
Does DLA get you any recognition/access to services which would help, even if we don't currently feel the need of the additional cash to meet DS needs?

Does DLA get you anything apart from the actual money?
