Does anyone have experience getting benefits for them selves or their child for autism?

I’ve looked at gov.uk but it’s hard when I’m living in Canada and want to move back with my son and make sure he gets what he is entitled to and his future is looked after!

Here in UK, you need letters from the doctor and school/college to get benefits

Hi

This must be a tricky for you as you are in Canada. Our helpline will be able to help. If you fill in their online form, and give as much detail as you can, they will be back to you - mencap.org.uk/contact/conta...

The National Autistic Society has some information on benefits that you might find helpful - autism.org.uk/about/benefit...
