    Hi and welcome to the community 
    I'm no expert on dla but from reading other people posts it seems very hard to be awarded for younger children 

    You have to demonstrate that your child's care needs are significantly greater than that of a child that age with no care needs 

    Have you ever had any expert advice to help you claim maybe contact welfare rights 

    Let us know if you have any other questions

    Welcome to the community @EthelSylvia :) It's good to hear that you've been in touch with Scope. Which service have you been accessing? Is it our helpline service?
