Disability Living Allowance Rates
Disabled people in the UK are often surprised to learn how straight-forward the disability benefits system actually is. Disability Living Allowance is in two parts - the care component and the mobility component. Just because you qualify for one doesn;t mean you qualify for both. However, you could and it is worth checking.
Care component Weekly benefit…
Highest rate - £70.35
Middle rate - £47.10
Lowest rate - £18.65
Mobility component Weekly benefit…
Higher rate - £49.10
Lower rate - £18.65
Your individual circumstances will affect how much you can get. The claim pack gives some examples of different levels of care and mobility needs.
