You may get Disability Living Allowance if you are under 65 when you make your claim, and your illness/disability means that:

• you need help with your personal care (see page 4), or you need someone to supervise you for your own or someone else’s safety (see page 4), or
• you cannot walk, or you find it very hard to walk, or you need help to get around (or you have both personal care or supervision needs and walking difficulties), and
• you have had these needs or walking difficulties (or both) for at least three months and they are likely to continue for at least a further six months.
You can get Disability Living Allowance whether or not you are in work.

There's a copy of the claim form you can complete online HERE
