    There's not usually an assessment for a childs DLA claim. Once the decision is made, if they're not happy they can challenge it by requesting the MR.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Oh Ty is this for all child DLA claims ? So do they just go of the information you give them?

    Yes. If they need more information they will contact the school or GP.
