DLA - can you have an ‘underlying entitlement’ to a lower component from before 65?
I have a client who is appealing a decision to remove his DLA lower rate mobility and higher rate care award. He is 66. I am trying to argue he should keep his previous award but evidence is quite weak as his mental health is more stable. Evidence for cooking test is stronger. DWP say he cannot become entitled to this as he is too old. Is there any way I can argue this?
Unfortunately not. DRH p24.
Thanks for the help with this!
