Northern Ireland only. This check is based on the published child DLA criteria as administered by the Department for Communities (DfC). It does not apply to England, Scotland, or Wales.
Peer support, not professional advice. This tool cannot assess your child's individual entitlement. Nothing here should be treated as legal, welfare rights, or professional advice. Do not rely on this check as the sole basis for any decision.
