DLA has been mentioned in a lot of posts lately. i have never considered it up to now, assuming that it was means tested, DH is self-employed and getting child tax credit a few years ago was a nightmare due to fluctuating income levels. These days we are comparitively well off but I am beginning to realise that DS2's AS means that it is much more difficult for me to return to paid work and I could do with extra funds to pay for tutors to make up for his glacial progress at school and out of school activities to boost his physical and social development. Thing is I don't really find him difficult on a day to day basis btu that is because i have adjusted my way of life and expectations to suit him, should I apply, am I likely to get anything? Would value honest opinions about this as I am not sure wether it is right for me to apply. Does recieving DLA have any non- financial benefits, ie.disabilty rights etc.?
