    Hi @debbieletts1980 how are you this evening, totally agree with @Username_removed dla for a four year isn't easy but you "don't go for" a rate you apply and see what is awarded or not, as with all the questions you answer them as fully and honestly as possible.
    Good luck

    Hello @debbieletts1980 and a warm welcome to the community.

    As mentioned above, for high rate care component of DLA you would need to be able to evidence that they have substantial care needs day and night that are above the expected for a child of their age. 

    With regards to the question you've asked, does your child use any specific aids?
