Dyslexia and DLA
Tue 17-Aug-04 08:00 AM

Hi! Have just had a client's application for DLA turned down. He is severely dyslexic and needs help from another person several times during the day. I can't see any more that we could have put on the form to make his case. Has anyone had any expereince with claiming DLA for dyslexic clients? I would love to hear any experience or tips for appealing this one.
Thanks

I'm not aware of any DLA case-law specifically relating to dyslexia, but this issue was previously raised in the old discussion forum -
