Hi k,

The DLA Guide for children under 16 is the 4th link down the page that Gordon gave you the link for, under the heading :

"The Best Possible Disability Living Allowance Claims For Children On Mental or Physical Health Grounds"

Here is the link to the page again :

I am sorry if I did not make this clearer in my previous post, your daughter is being assessed as adult as she is turning 16.

I missed that one G, well caught.

In that case it is the 2nd and 3rd links down the page :

"The Best Possible Disability Living Allowance Claims For Adults On Physical Health Grounds

The Best Possible Disability Living Allowance Claims For Adults On Mental Health Grounds"

But she's 15 does that mean I have to fill in a adult form? It's madness she'll still be in school til she's 19.
Social services count her as a child til she's 18.
But what do dwp do distinguish at 16?

Confusing is it an adult o r a child guide from this forum I use
