hi im roxi, my son got his diagnosis of asd attachment difficulties and learning difficulties, however dla have rejected every claim because they have said every thing oliver is going through is normal for his age!! its now going to tribunal and im really worried, has any one been through this? i know what they are saying just isnt the case and in their defence it states the average 2 year old needs help dressing and will get upset and have meltdowns....which maybe true but hes 8 next month! not 2, i guess im just panicking so ill stop rambling now.

There is lots of information here about appealing a decision.
Are you getting any support through this? Have you spoken to the CAB?
It would help if you have plenty of evidence from medical professionals about your son's condition, do you have doctors on your side?Scope

I made one claim but appealed it. Then took it higher. But it's been dragged out after having to wait until i got his full diagnosis.
