DLA
Hi I have a 7 year old with chronic constipation/faecal impaction due to withholding poo. He soils and wets himself up to 9 times a day. Also has daytime and night time wetting due to the constipation. Was wondering if anyone ya successfully claimed DLA for their child. I have been told by the continence nurse my son is entitled to it but we were refused. My son clearly has care needs above and beyond a child of his age.
Yes we get middle element
I have applied twice and on both occasions have been rejected because my child does not have a learning disability nor does he have a care plan at school. His school had supported my claims but still rejected? I’m really disappointed
Our son doesnt have a learning disability or care plan
Hmm I don’t understand why my sons claim got rejected. I need some help for mandatory reconsideration if you or anyone can please help me. I’m going out of my mind with high bills due to Washing, drying new clothes etc..
We went to money matters and they fill in the form. If u dont have that .... maybe citizens advice
Thanks Stephanie 😊
No probs hope u have better luck
Thank you
Hi I have just been to tribunal for my 14 year old daughter who suffers with chronic constipation, faeal/urine incontinence, chronic back pain caused by the years of Constipation, she has zero pelvic floor muscles has been under physiotherapy teams for over a year with no improvement. She suffers with severe anxiety, panic attacks and low mood and she didn’t get any element of care or mobility. She struggles to even carry her school bag, she can’t stand or walk huge distances due to pain. Her attendance is very low and education and progression is affected daily. She needs attention through the night with her pain and anxiety but she got a big fat NO from tribunal because she doesn’t have any learning needs! I don’t get why this is of any significant my daughter has physical and emotional needs but hey they dismissed it all
