Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
If your child has a disability or health condition, you may be eligible to receive financial support through Disability Living Allowance (DLA). This benefit is designed to help with the extra costs of caring for a child with additional needs and is available to families with children under 16 who require extra care or have mobility difficulties.
Why Apply for DLA?
- Financial Support: DLA can assist with costs related to your child’s care, such as specialized equipment, therapy, or travel expenses.
- Access to Additional Benefits: Receiving DLA may make your family eligible for other forms of support, like Carer’s Allowance or help with housing expenses.
- Focus on Your Child’s Needs: Reducing financial pressure means you can dedicate more attention and resources to your child’s well-being and development.
