Disability allowance

Hi. I had an assessment with the Ed Psych yesterday and while I wait for full report, it's highly probable I have add and borderline dyspraxia. If I want an official full diagnosis of ADD I have to go through my GP which can take months. Also, unless I can provide evidence of ADD when I was at school (I'm 37 now) then getting a full diagnosis is really hard to get.

Is there anything I can provide to try and claim disability allowance?
When they said borderline dyspraxia have they written that on your report?

I would hope so. I won't see it for 3-5 weeks while it gets written up.

Any specific learning difficulty diagnosis would be enough evidence for support through dsa so if it mentions the dyspraxia you won't need to wait for your ADHD diagnosis to get help
