Hi and welcome. Yes, DLA has to be included in the review as a source of income. However, it is important, and generally acceptable, to offset this amount on the expenses side with the costs incurred in caring for your son, which effectively wipes it out.
My opinions are merely that .. opinions based on experience. Always seek professional advice.

Hi, I currently get DLA for my daughter and it is included as an income but the full amount is then deducted off as expenditure which cancels it out. The DLA is for your son and not to be included.
