Bit confused with the new rules and categories, until recently a person had to be on Disability Living Allowance with a mobility Element to qualify for a Mobility vehicle.
Under the "Shake-up" all these previous benefits have been streamlined and merged into just Three groiups:
Income related employment group
Contributions related employment group
(both deemed to be capable of, and expected to work)
And the Support Group.
(this Group is deemed to be incapable of Working)
Therefore are the poor folk in the latter group now eligible to apply for a Mobility vehicle? -
most of the websites I`ve looked at dont seem to have been updated with info relating to the new benefit groups as yet.
thanks!
