Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for children may help with the extra costs of looking after a child who:

• is under 16
• has difficulties walking or needs much more looking after than a child of the same age who does not have a disability

You can claim DLA for children if you’re in or out of work.

The DWP have produced a range of short YouTube videos both with and without British Sign Language.

These videos provide information about Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for children - helpful for parents and carers wanting to find out more about claiming DLA for a child.
