I have a client whose wife is in a nursing home. she has been in receipt of DLA HRC & HRM. The 28 days are up today and so the benefit has been suspended. however, the DWP staff i spoke to was unsure whether this would be both components. Having looked in the CPAG book it seems that she may keep her HRM if there was a Motability agreement in place before she became a patient. this is the case but it is up for renewal at the end of August when she may well still be in the nursing home.

is there any way that the HRM may be kept in place so that the car is not taken away?
