If you PA can you get DLA??

Hi guys just a quick question.

If you have PA are you entitled to DLA?

it very much depends on the way you're affected - it's not awarded based on having a particular ailment - it's calculated purely on how the ailment affects your ability to do things.

It's also awarded at different levels and for mobility and personal help components. The Benefit Enquiry line should help you out - they did me!!!

Try them out! Telephone: 0800 88 22 00
