Hi Yorkie, as far as I am aware the DLA dosen't affect any wages that you might earn, but I am sure other people will be able to help further love Jaspercatxx0

Hi,
Yes, I think DLA is a benefit that anyone can claim, its not means tested, just depends on passing a medical. I think their are 3 levels of payment, depending on your ability, which they decide. Sue0 -

IS DLA VERY DIFFERENT TO DISABILITY? MAYBE I`VE RANG WRONG DEPARTMENT IN PAST?
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY TO YOU ALL.. YORKIE0 -
Yorkie, you can get DLA as long as your condition has lasted more than 6 months and is liable to continue. You get it for various things.
ie. I get low care as I do not need continuous care day and night. Also I am able to use aids such as bath lift etc.
I get high rate mobility due to walking issues and poor upper body strength combined with painful spinal spasms.
Job Centre advise I can continue to get it if I return to work if I continue to have the same problems. Linda0 -
