If you claim DLA are you still expected to work to claim the free 15 nursery hours or the 85% on universal credit? I have just recently applied for DLA for my daughter and I’m currently trying to find a job within nursery hours but until I have found one she can’t start nursery, so I’m just wondering if she gets accepted for DLA will it matter if I’m working or not? Or is there any other help out there which support with nursery fees?
Sorry if this is a silly question I am new to all of this
TIA X
