How long will the needs last?
Hydrocephalus Duration Guidance
| Age at date of claim | Award Period |
|---|---|
| 1 - 7 | Award to age 8 (or for 1 year, whichever is the longer) |
| 8 - 15 | Award to age 16 (or for 1 year, whichever is the longer) |
Renewal at age 8 is suggested as the disability associated with hydrocephalus may improve as a consequence of surgical, medical, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychosocial and educational interventions.
