New Disability Living Allowance forms for children

The Department for Work and Pensions has introduced a new Disability Living Allowance (DLA) claim form for children. This form is being rolled out across the country for new claimants area by area, and should cover the whole of the UK by the end of March 2012. 

Remember it’s only the claim form that has changed – the rules are still the same. It won’t be any easier to get DLA, but hopefully it will be a bit easier to complete the claim form. Contact a Family’s welfare rights team are updating their Guide to claiming Disability Living Allowance for children to cover how to complete the new form. 

The new guide will be available in March. 

Please call their freephone helpline for a free copy on 0808 808 3555.
