Dla claim

hello I am in the process of gathering evidence for my son.
He is 8 and struggling day to day.
he stuggles more in school the teachers have refarrerd to the neurodevelopment pathway for suspected asd/pda
however I have had a copy of the refarrel that expresses a lot of what my son stuggles with and what support is in place could I use this as evidence to support her claim

Hi @lucy19
Yes, a copy of the referral can be used as evidence and it is a really good piece of evidence to include as well as it should be give the assessor information about your son and it supports your claim by showing the school’s concerns and what support is already in place!
Here is Tips and Guidance for Applying for DLA and some general DLA Information for Parents and Carers that I hope will be helpful too☺️Please reach back out if you would like further support or have additional questions
