KezT Report post Posted February 27, 2011 Hi, if you ask for direct payments for your child does his DLA get stopped or decreased? no - Direct payments have no bearing on DLA. However, Direct Payments are beng severely cut atm - we've just lost all of ours:( They are`also being phased out and replaced by the new personal independance payment thingly that I haven't researched properly yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
