In Receipt of DLA, relocating to Belfast was created by roone34
Hi,
I am 70years old and have an indefinite award of DLA covering Higher Rate Mobility and Lower Rate Care. I suffer with Oestoarthritis and Fibromyalgia.
Someone has told me I would have to reapply for DLA when I move to Belfast as it is not classed the same as England. Is this correct.

We know that their are problems moving from Northern Ireland to the UK mainland But I am not sure whether these exist in the other direction, your best bet is to contact the Social Security Agency who manage benefits in N. Ireland. See
www.dsdni.gov.uk/index/ssa.htm
There is an A-Z of office at the bottom of the page.
