Backdated DLA for ADHD?

Hi. Can anyone help
my son has recently been diagnosed with ADHD and is on medication . His key worker at the place he goes for school has said I can claim dla! My son is nearly 16 and I have been fighting for my son since a very young age he’s missed out on school etc for many years. Do you kkkw if I will get dla back dated for all the years he has suffered and been miss judged and not to say the family have suffered

As your son is nearly 16 it is best to apply for PIP as DLA is only for children under 16.
Please let us know if there is anything else we can help you with!
