RE: Head Injury

Are you familiar with "Headway". They're a charity set up to give help and support to people affected by brain injury. Their website is www.headway.org.uk. They have a local branch in Norfolk. Their website offers a wealth of information from which you could find inspiration for your DLA application!
To be awarded DLA for supervision, it would have to be the middle rate at least. The criteria is he must need "continual supervision throughout the day" for Middle rate and (in addition) another person has to be awake for a prolonged period of time or at frequent intervals for the higher rate.
Check pages 113-119 CPAG for how these terms have been interpreted.
Good luck,
Bea
