1. Overview
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for children may help with the extra costs of looking after an eligible child who:
- is under 16
- has difficulties walking, and or,
- needs more looking after than a child of the same age
The DLA rate is between £21 and £134.40 a week and depends on the level of help the child needs. The child may need an assessment to work out what help they need.
