Conclusion
The lack of national eligibility criteria for the provision of support to disabled children means that some children are able to receive the support they need while others with similar needs are unable to receive support simply because of where they live. We support the Law Commission’s recommendation for the introduction of national eligibility criteria to assess the support that disabled children require. (Recommendation, Paragraph 68)
