Disability Living Allowance (DLA) – are you getting the support you deserve? https://contact.org.uk/help-for-families/information-advice-services/benefits-financial-help/benefits-and-tax-credits/disability-living-allowance/

It’s there to help you pay for the extra costs of caring for a child with a disability or condition. To make sure families don’t miss out on this vital benefit – more important than ever given the current cost of living crisis – we’ve created 3 new animations introducing you to DLA and available in four languages https://contact.org.uk/help-for-families/information-advice-services/benefits-financial-help/benefits-and-tax-credits/disability-living-allowance/dla-videos/
