Hi has anyone been rewarded dla for sensory processing disorder ?

My daughter has all the signs and school is concerned but she isn't diognosed but does need attention and has melt downs too straight after school and is very difficult in bath times with touch , washing face and brushing hair / tying hair , sound and smell etc

DLA is not based on a diagnosis, but on needs.

Low rate care is for help for some of the day.
Middle rare for frequent help or constant supervision during the day or night, or those needing help on dialysis.
High rate care is for help or supervision throughout day and night, or they are terminally ill.

How old DD is will also matter because it is help and supervision in excess of what typical children her age need. Look at the Cerebrs guide.
