Entitlement to DLA is decided on how much more help the child needs than other children of their age, as a result of their disability or illness.

If the child or young person can do any of the things below on their own but it takes them a very long time, causes them pain or tiredness, or makes their condition worse, or may put them (or somebody else) in danger, the law sees this as needing help.

To use this tool, please login or sign up. It takes 30 seconds and means you can save progress and get the letter by email.
