Families urged to claim Disability Learning Allowance for theirdisabled children
Families with disabled children are being urged by charity Contact a Family to claim Disability Learning Allowance (DLA). Only 42 per cent of families with disabled children are claiming DLA, and the charity reckons that a potential 323,400 families could be receiving up to another 109.50 per week.
