This is what the DWP have just told me !

I am beyond furious , he does not yet have his diagnosis for ADHD/AS/OCD which is what I was told was suspected by his specialist .

Instead he is just naughty , not that I would class a 4 year old coming at you with a carving knife 'challenging behaviour' or that he has never slept longer than two hours & is never tired .
He can't be left unsupervised as he will endanger himself & others & just doesn't grasp that sticking your hand on to something hot will hurt & then repeatedly does it again & again .
I have to have locks on every room in my house .
He runs in to traffic because he chooses to do so not that he doesn't understand the danger of it , well that's what they wreckon .
I don't know what to do , Are they right is this just challenging behaviour ?

Macca yes they use a guide but that is not all they use there are doctors on site all the time to ask questions, they have specific training for asd ADHD and many other disabilities. The dm really do read everything and do not have any kind of nil targets.

Also ao grades do not make decisions on dla claims ever maybe they do for ESA

Am not suggesting errors aren't made, it just annoys me when people (not specifically yourself) make claims about dla that aren't true. Claiming dla is stressful enough without rumours. Again not saying you are spreading rumours just that it becomes like Chinese whispers.
