Hi

It depends how much extra help she needs. You cant get it just because of the diagnosis but you may get it if you are up regularly in the night because of itching or if she needs any sort of significant extra help that you wouldn't need to give a child without a medical problem e.g. daily physio etc.

It doesn't cost to make a claim and in my experience they always refuse it first time so you would need to ask for it to be looked at again.

Have a great Christmas.

Hey Sparrow we can help at CLDF, currently closed for Christmas but when we are back in the New year I can send you a link with how to fill in the best DLA application. Many of the families we support claim DLA and some of the children have BA. We will be in touch in the New Year.
