Hi Puds, To qualify for DLA you need to prove that your child need more and prolonged attention compared with another child of the same age. If a child is under one years of age this is very difficult as all children under one need continues care and supervision. We do have an information pack should you decide to apply or you can give me a call at the office and I can give you more information.

Best wishes - Jacquie

I totally understand your rant but unfortunately you do have to jump through hoops. I am not saying don't apply but be prepared to be refused but we do have a really good information pack to help you complete the form which I must say is a daunting task in it's self. I am in the office today and tomorrow but then away. regards Jacquie
