If you live in the UK you can get DLA if your child needs more care than a child of the same age. There are mobility and care allowances. Most children with BWS don't fall into this category but there are some that do. Contact a Family have a lot of information about how to claim etc on their website that is worth looking at.

Not what you're looking for?
