My child is currently being assessed by a paediatrician because of concerns about his development. Even though he has not yet been diagnosed with a condition can we apply for benefits for him?
If you are looking after a child and need to provide care, attention or supervision which is more than that for a non disabled child of a similar age you may be able to get DLA (Disability Living Allowance). You do not need a definite diagnosis to apply for this benefit and it does not matter how much you earn and you will not be asked to give financial details, for example about savings.
