To apply for dla for my child?

[Rainer]

He has to regularly self catheterise, all be it independently but requirs reminding, especially with a lack of routine (as in now during the holidays) needs help to measure and record drinks and wee passed. We have to attend weekly soon to be monthly appointments. His equipment needs to be ordered regularly as well as medication.

Wwyd?

Boston the reason you will have been turned down is because your child is only 18 months and the care you are providing is not more than an 18 month old. Being able to walk is not taken into consideration until the child is 3. At that age you would still feed, change and administer drugs to a child of a similar age. Apply in another year and things will change.

Rainer Because your DS is caring for himself and not requiring extra help I doubt you would be considered.

Hi not sure if this is the right place to post new to this. In a nut shell my daughter was diagnosed as blind at 4 month earlier old and registered legally applied for DLA as advised by her consultant. Been told today after months of waiting that she doesn't qualify. Heartbroken isn't the word! Have sent a mandatory reconsideration by special delivery today can anyone advise if they have been through the same thing? Any ideas if I will win or if this is going to be a battle. SO very unfair to family's who have enough to deal with. Thanks in advance for any help xxx

Hi Cph1 you'd be better off starting your own thread as people often just reply to the first post.
