Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
Definition: DLA is a weekly payment to help with the extra costs caused by a disability. It is paid at different rates depending on how much help you need because of your disability or terminal illness. You may need a medical assessment to work out what you need. You can apply for DLA whether or not you work and it's for children or adults.

Services mentioning Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
The
children's fund was established to help meet the needs of children who have impaired vision, by providing special needs
grants and specialist equipment. Many families with young children who have
vision impairments will have experienced lengthy
delays and numerous application forms when applying for essential equipment like a
CCTV</a> system or specialist computer software. We hope to be able to attract enough support to be able to help meet some of these needs.
The
helpline can answer questions on what it's like to have
nystagmus, on treatment and research, on
DLA, on education and employment, on driving and
discrimination, in fact anything you can think of related to nystagmus, whether congenital (early onset) or acquired (late onset). Or you can just phone for a chat with someone else who has nystagmus.
