Help with DLA

Hello,

Could anyone help with advice for DLA.

My 5 year old son had Hydronephrosis which was diagnosed while i was pregnant, he is being seen at my local hospital aswell as Great Ormond Street for the condition. Does anyone know if this is a condition that meets criteria for DLA?

Thank You

    A far as DLA is concerned it is not the name of the condition that is important but the care/mobility needs that arise as a result of the condition.

    Because he's under 16, as well as proving that he has care or mobility needs, you need to prove that he has needs above that of the average 5 year old.
