Read me: What is Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and who can claim it?

Chris_Alumni

Following the introduction of PIP, Disability Living Allowance is now intended as a benefit to help support children under 16 with care and mobility needs. Adults under-65 who have care and mobility needs should instead apply for Personal Independence Payment (PIP), while those over 65 should claim Attendance Allowance.

You can find out more about eligibility for Disability Living Allowance and DLA rates on the official government website, and additional information is available on Scope's DLA information page
