We regularly hear from families looking for help with some of the same questions when completing a DLA claim. So, we’ve put together short and longer answers to these questions to help make the process a little easier to understand.

We’re still here for you.

If you’d like to talk things through with a member of our Family Support Team, please email familysupport@littlemiraclescharity.org.uk or complete our Family Support Request Form, and we’ll be in touch.
