Dla ASD

[Mum7b]

Hi looking for Advice please ?

our 2 year old has been awarded DLA high rate care from the award date of 02/08/2021 to 27/01/2022, I presume this is because at 3 we apply for the motability element ? So I am just wondering what happens now ? Do we have to reapply again in January or is it just filling out if any change of care has happened and adding his mobility needs in ?

while this happens a does the current award stop ?

As it's quite soon for the claim to be looked at again on his 3rd birthday so we need to do anything will they just look at the information and decide that he needs the motability element ?

thanks

@Mum7b Hi, wondering if you would be able to help, I have submitted a claim for my daughter (3.5) who’s waiting on an ASD diagnosis, she attends nursery 5 days a week , but recently got a diagnosis of learning difficulties, behavioural difficulties, social difficulties along side a couple more, due to this they only allow her to stay 1 hour a day as she requires constant supervision and honestly the nursery don’t have the facilities, we are awaiting a referral to early learning for a 1 on 1. She is very impulsive, would hit out and can be quite unpredictable, while at home she requires the same amount of constant care if not more, she is unaware of any dangers , I,e cars, fire, cooker, climbing that sort of thing so is unable to walk safely, does anyone know how Dla might award if any, thanks
