My son has just been diagnosed with Autism.I am so anxious about informing Dla incase they stop his current claim so can I just wait until his claim is up to renewed in a couple of years and let them know then?.His needs are still the same so he doesn't need or qualify for a higher rate so its just the diagnosis that's changed really.

    Hi @Jane315STARX, if his needs haven't changed, it should be fine to wait until his claim needs to be looked at again ☺️
