How much is mobility rate

Hi, could someone tell me the going rate for high mobility and lowest rate for care. I think I have been underpaid, if so how do I go about checking this. Also whilst writing does it make a difference by age? I am 67 in July and have not yet been told to apply for PIP.

Hi,

Welcome to Benefits and Work

The current rates of DLA (Applicable until 06/04/15) are :

HR Mobility = £56.75/Week

LR Care = £21.55/Week

From : Benefit Rates 2014

DLA rates applicable after 06/04/15 can be seen : Here.

Any DLA recipient that was under 65 years old on 08/04/13 will eventually by invited to claim PIP.

If you have a fixed term DLA award, you should expect to be invited to claim PIP some 16-20 weeks before the end of the fixed term award, if you live in an Active PIP Area :

See : Here.

If you have indefinite DLA awards, you can expect to be invited to claim PIP sometime after October 2015 running until October 2017.

The DWP have stated that they will "invite claims as early as possible from recipients who have turned 65 after 8 April 2013, when PIP was first introduced.”

You do not have to instigate the transfer to PIP, you will receive an "invitation" when the time comes.

You should be aware that there is no equivalent of LR Care DLA with PIP.

There is a Standard Daily Living Award and an Enhanced Daily Living Award, this is explained in our PIP Claims Guide accessible from the link below.
