Practical step-by-step guide

Plan support as a young person approaches adulthood

A practical planning guide: questions to ask and documents to organise. Follow the linked canonical service records for sources, criteria and current application routes.

Practical next steps

  1. Ask DSS before the child benefit ends which adult assessment, timing and application apply.
  2. Check whether an adult claim is automatic or requires new medical or administrative evidence.
  3. Discuss continuity between paediatric and adult services with the treating team.
  4. Ask the school or education provider about transition planning, communication aids and further-study support.
  5. Ask Sapport about age-specific service routes and the young person’s own goals and consent.
  6. Explore employment support or daily-living assistance where relevant.
