Well I am going to bite the bullet and apply for this for ds who has HFA.

Just wondered those of you who get it:

Did you go to Citizens advice and do you think it made a difference?
Can a SENCO fill in the section of the form that is for someone else who knows the child?
I can't really see a time when I will be able to work during school holidays as ds would never tolerate childcare and unless specially trained I don't think most child care settings would be able to deal with him. Would this be relevant when making the claim?
Can you put in copies of his school reports and ed psych and SENCO reports to back up the claim.

Many thanks. Any other tips welcomed.

Hi,

I used this guide to help me complete the horrific DLA forms and dont think i could have managed without it.

www.cerebra.org.uk/Resources/Cerebra/Parent%20Support/dla_guide_nov07.pdf

The SENCO can fill in that part of the form, but IIRC you dont actually need anyone to fill that bit in.

By all means include any reports from any professionals that will help support your claim.
