DLA is a benefit that will help children who have additional needs i.e. asthma or waiting diagnosis of autism or other. Claiming DLA will not affect any benefits you are on - it is to help with parking for appointments, bus fare or buying additional equipment for your child to meet their needs. If you are getting this benefit or applying for it, Gayn will need to see the awarding letter as we can recieve extra payments to help your child in nursery to buy resources to support your child's needs
