DLA - Phone Call this afternoon from DWP - Help

[Guest guest]

Got a phone call from the DWP regarding my son's DLA this afternoon. Kept asking

me how many one-to-one hours help my son gets at school as detailed in his

Statement. I explained that he doesn't go to mainstream but attends a special

school for children with autism. She then pressed me on what the ratio of

teachers to pupils was. When I said 1:3 - she said 'so he copes without

one-to-one?' and I stupidly said yes....I'd just got home from picking my son up

from school and was hot and bothered and rather taken aback by the call.

With all the stuff in the news at the moment, do you think they are trying to

take our DLA away? Am so worried as I really need the money..... He, of course,

gets one-to-one at certain times when needed but the woman obviously doesn't

understand the difference in mainstream/special school settings.

Any thoughts?
