Decision letters can feel cold. Support needs can be misunderstood. Families are often left trying to prove what they already live with every day.

The Disability Living Allowance, PIP & EHCP Parent Survival Guide is a clear and compassionate plain-English guide designed to help parents and carers explain support needs honestly, confidently and with dignity. Written by Richard J Vale from lived experience and practical knowledge, the book covers:
