§ The Countess of Marasked Her Majesty's Government:
Why it is that claims for the care component and mobility allowances from the War Pensions Agency are rejected when claims for Disability Living Allowance with a mobility component based upon the same facts are accepted by the Benefits Agency. [HL214]
§ Lord BachConditions for the award of Constant Attendance Allowance and Mobility Supplement under the War Pensions Scheme include the requirement that the need for attendance or help with mobility must be due to the disablement for which a War Disablement Pension was awarded. Entitlement to Disability Living Allowance is governed by different legislation, does not depend on the circumstances in which the disability arose and can take other factors into account.
