I don't talk to many people in RL about DS's difficulties, so I just need to share our experience with DLA application somewhere!
We had our verbal dx on the 8th December, they DP recommended applying for DLA so I called the same day to get the application.
The cut of date to return it was the 19th of January - the same day we had our official dx. I didn't send the form back until the 19th as I though I may have been given a written dx (which I wasn't) but just thought oh well, we might not get it anyway as DS is only 28 months old.
I had a call last Wednesday 26th to say the only got the form on the 23rd and to ask why it was late, which I explained...
Low and behold today there was money in my account backdated - MRC.
So realistically it took them 11 days to award it.
I was so surprised as he is still young, but I guess he does require constant supervision, day and night, much more than a NT child his age.
We are doing a very part time ABA program which is soooo expensive for us, so the extra money will really help.
