Include ADHD in the Disability Living Allowance SMI Criteria.

Petition Details

Make ADHD automatically an arrested or incomplete physical development of the brain for Disability Living Allowance (Severe Mental Impairement Rules). Autism Spectrum Disorder is now automatically accepted as an arrested or incomplete physical development of the brain, and ADHD should be too.

Additional Information

ADHD comes little danger awareness and it is extremely hard to bring up a child who does not understand anything about danger, this means they need more help when out and about. To pass the severe mental impairment part of DLA you need to have an arrested or incomplete physical development of the brain. ADHD is exactly that however, it is not automatically classed as that. I feel like this condition is too overlooked and we are still stuck in the dark ages regarding our views on it.
