Child Disability Living Allowance (DLA) – Disability Solutions West Midlands

Read Time:26 Second

Your child can claim disability living allowance (DLA) if he or she is under 16, disabled and needs extra help to look after themselves or has difficulty walking or getting around. DLA is not means tested.

There are two components to DLA: the care component, which has three rates of payment and the mobility component, which has two rates of payment. Your child can be paid one or both components, depending on their needs.

Any savings your child has do not affect their DLA.
