Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Duplex is a congenital anomaly and it can be easily corrected by surgery.
You can not claim DLA as it is not a cause permanent disability to your child. Better to get consulted by a pediatric surgeon and get evaluated.
