Following previous comments in the year I want to provide an update.
The DLo team has improved and is now expanded and far more organised.
The seating area has been raised with safety barriers which are of a suitable height. I also understand they maybe made higher again.
The only negative element is the misuse of the lifts. Every week one has to wait while quite obviously ignorant able bodied people use the lift over stairs. The stewards seem to have no "empowerment or courage" to explain the priority for disabled supporters.
Parking is also good at the stadium or in the streets around the ground.

Stewards very helpful and polite, ample parking although the ramp up to the stadium is a little on the steep side but not too bad.
The view for wheelchair supporters is very good but the carers would have to stand as they can not see from their padded seats behind the wheelchair users. Disabled toilets very near with a RADAR key needed although I presume the stewards will carry one with them. Even had toilets round the outside of the stadium.
If your going to buy a pie, take a straw as you will have to drink it, I got one and it looked as though it had just been defrosted and warmed up in a microwave, it was too soft to pick up but tasted ok.
All in all a very good stadium.

Positives: Best Stadia in the Premier League for wheelchair users and makes Wembley look poor.
Sufficient lifts to hgher levels
Spacious Toilets
Helpful Stewarding
Good range of refreshments - they are pricey as another person commented, however price has nothing to do with being disabled.
Negatives The Disability team at Arsenal make lots of mistakes
The view from raised platform is obstructed during goals and set pieces. During purchase of season ticket it was said this would not happen.
The lifts get misused and the stewards don't actually challenge. Every game I encounter around 20 apparently able bodied people who use the lift and show no obvious guilt for not offering me to go ahead of them.

The view for disabled away fans in wheelchairs is excellent but not for the carer as they sit behind and the gap is used by stewards/police as a walkthrough.
Parking can be arranged under the stadium with access via lift. Access from outside the stadium is difficult with a long steep ramp.
Accessible toilets are satisfactory.
Catering is expensive and can get very crowded.
