Tips on completing the Disability Living Allowance form
We offer some general top tips on completing the DLA1A Child form, along with brief explanations of some of the more difficult parts of the form and the kind of information to include.
Please remember that a decision on your child’s claim will be made by someone who has never seen your child and who may have little or no knowledge about your child’s condition.
It is important that you make clear all the extra care and support that your child needs – don’t assume that the decision maker will already have this understanding.
