What is DLA?
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a tax-free, non-means-tested benefit for disabled children and adults to help with extra costs they may have because they are disabled. It is not based on disability but the needs arising from it.
How can we help?
We run regular, free DLA workshops to help parents/carers complete the Under 16 form for someone with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
The aims of the workshop are:
To decide whether you wish to make an application for DLA
To understand what DLA is, rates payable and how to apply
To feel confident to complete the DLA application process
To know where to get further assistance and support
If you are an adult with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, or you wish to make a claim on behalf of an adult, we can still assist you with the DLA form but the workshops will not be suitable.
We can also provide information by telephone or email to support people with making a claim.
Where are the workshops?
Carer Support Wiltshire have kindly agreed that we can use their premises in New Street, Salisbury.
When are the workshops?
Friday 25 November 2011 10-1pm
