Hi ive been awarded DLA for my almost 3 year old autistic son this has been backdated i applied in august 2025 and have received a large backpayment but works out around 300 / 340 a month id get not had any letters come through yet just the back pay in my bank . I had to appeal as they first rejected it but sent evidence etc and was awarded
I also claim UC I am a single parent and work part time 22.5 hours per week
Will I get a backpaument also from UC as have been advised I will get the disability chils element on top
Is there any other support I can now apply for now he has been awarded? I think he may have been awarded mid rate care. Not sure about mobility as his age but I did mention several times how he elopes and cannot walk safely has to be held or in buggy constsnrly due to running off or severe melt downs
Feel very relieved that it has finally been accepted as I thought id have to go to a tribunal.
