I am not aware of anybody being awarded DLA or ESA specifically for their having Dyslexia.

DLA is awarded for a claimants Care and/or Mobility needs, you would need to show that because of his Dyslexia that he has these requirements, have a look at our DLA claim guides for more information.

ESA is awarded because the claimant meets one or more the ESA descriptors and as a result qualifies for either the WRAG group or the Support Group. Question 7 covers communication but requires there the problem to be due to sensory impairment, again you could have a look at our claim guides.
