This support aims to assist families managing children’s disabilities, with payments ranging from £30.30 to £194.60 per week, amounting to up to £779 monthly, depending on the level of care required. Recent data reveals that while most claims relate to learning difficulties, the fastest-growing segment involves behavioural disorders such as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder.
