Changes to DLA child claim forms
NDCS have had confirmation that following a successful piloting scheme, DWP are proceeding with the roll out of the new child DLA claim form across the UK. The pilot scheme ran from September 2009 for child claims in the South East of England. The revised child DLA claim form will help to overcome many difficulties parents have previously had with the DLA forms.
The following Information has been circulated by Contact a Family:
1. There will be a roll out of the new form across the country for new claimants. This has already happened in the West Midlands and will happen in all other areas between now and the end of March 2012.
2. For existing claimants (i.e. renewal claims) the new form will apply across the UK from a designated date in February 2012.
3. Plans for a separate claim form for under 2s have been abandoned.
4. New guidance (for decision makers) on medical conditions as they affect disabled children is in the process of being put together. This will replace the information in the DWPs Disability Handbook.
If you need any help completing a DLA form for your child, you can contact us, or NDCS for advice and guidance.
