dla renewal or change in circumstances

im not sure what to do,my son has mrc just now which runs out in 7 months,last week i was told he now has autism and adhd,should i tell them and fill out the change in circumstances or wait till i get my renwal letter.
im just unsure what to do.

Hi,

Try to get individual advice before doing anything. A change in diagnosis is not in itself a change in circumstances.

If your son's needs have increased there may be reason to ask to have the award to be looked at again.

But even then, if your son is already getting middle rate care for daytime needs, there is no way of getting this increased unless he also now has nightime needs as well.

So, do try to get advice if possible.

Good luck,

Steve
