Where possible, parents/carers are encouraged to request a supporting letter from their child’s medical practitioner. As healthcare professionals have an in‑depth understanding of a child’s medical and health needs, their contribution is an important element of the Disability Living Allowance (DLA) application process.

Please note, the school is unable to complete this section of the application. However, the SENDCo can be spoken to for further advice or guidance in relation to DLA applications.
