4.1 How to find evidence if a child younger than 7 has a List D condition?
A family or carer may inform us that a child younger than age 7 has a List D condition or we might identify it when reviewing their disability evidence.
Before making an eligibility decision, make sure you review the application and any provided disability evidence for any diagnosed List D conditions (external).

You also need to consider the disability requirements. Go to article Understand disability requirements.

If the person is not a child younger than 7 with a List D condition, consider all of the disability requirements and early intervention requirements using articles:
- Understand disability requirements.
