Our Son was diagnosed with ADHD last year, something we 'knew' he had really, but was still upsetting to see it confirmed. Also somewhat of a relief. He is on medication to help control it.
Our HV advised us to apply for DLA. At first we were very against this, as we didn't want to be 'getting paid' for our own child. However, with a bit of persuading we eventually did apply, and he got awarded it. High Care, Low Mobility. I'll not lie, the money has been a massive help. It has also meant I can claim Carers Allowance for him.
I have just been told by a friend, whos Son also has ADHD, that he no longer qualifies, as they have stopped giving it for children with ADHD. Is this true, does anybody know?
