On the provision that he is awarded in the first place that is.
He'll be turning three in January and has just received a diagnosis of autism. I have been encouraged by his nursery to apply for DLA which I plan to do, I'm just compiling all of his medical evidence and gathering letters for the application at the minute.
The nursery manager thinks it would be a good idea to use the (hypothetical at the moment) DLA money on extra days in nursery as she thinks it'll be good for him.
He currently receives the government 15 free hours funding and attends two days per week, I only work part time so I don't need the extra days childcare.
They keep chasing me up about it and asking if I've sent the application or heard anything back yet.
If DS awarded then I think I'd like to use the money on other things such as a safer sleeping bed, sensory items for the home and to make adaptations where I can to make life easier and more enjoyable for him.
AIBU to not want to use DLA to pay for additional childcare or do you think I should?
