We’ve applied for DLA for the child who is ill. Her brother was already on Autistic Pathway, however we were able to access additional resources for him, using her illness as a catalyst. Neither get access support to education as she is still in nursery and he is home educated. However, I do know that support to education is available though not widely publicized, where it should be, imho. Same goes for help with care needs. When a parent becomes a carer, they are entitled to respite and other supports that are usually not widely known.

I don't know what EHC assessment plan is! However our young lad started getting home out reach teaching, but only after being off school for 5months, and only 1/4 time for the 5months before that. Don't know if he would be elegible for DLA. Not been given any info about that side of things.
