What is the best way to ask for a DLA mandatory reconsideration for a child?

The best way is to use the Advicenow DLA Mandatory Reconsideration Letter Tool, which helps you explain how much more help your child needs with each activity compared to a child of the same age - the central legal test for DLA.

This tool was designed to be used by all employees and workers in England and Wales.

We created this tool because we want to help you deal with the problems that affect you at work. This tool will support you to write a formal complaint letter - called a grievance - to your employer. It makes it easier for you to make a complaint about workplace discrimination, harassment, or other unfair treatment you are experiencing. (See Unfair treatment at work for more information about what counts as discrimination).



Starting a grievance does not stop the clock running on the time limits for starting a case at the employment tribunal. Only contacting Acas about early concilliation does.

See Time Limits for employment tribunal for more information.
