Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a benefit that helps with the extra costs of caring for a child under 16 who has a disability or health condition. It is designed to support families with the additional care and mobility needs that come with raising a child with disabilities.
You can apply for DLA if:
DLA has two parts:
The amount you receive depends on how much care and support your child needs. You could receive payments for one or both parts, depending on your child’s needs.
You can apply for DLA online or by filling out a paper form. You’ll need to give details about your child’s condition and the kind of help they need.
