Severe Eczema DLA child under 16 Mon 28-Nov-05 11:19 AM
I have a case of a under 16 child with severe Eczema. Mother having to give him a bath both day and night as the irritation becomes unbareable for the child. Moreover, during episodes of flare ups he is absent from school for up to 3 week at a time. He has been awarded lower rate care/mobility but I felt he should be getting higher rate.
could any one help me with any commissioners decisions relating to the above medical conditions.

As well as the Forum, have you tried the National Eczema Society - they have an excellent information service and often carry articles about claiming DLA - www.eczema.org/
