Hi,
1. It shouldn't do as the Mobility test for DLA is on your walking capabilities.
2. Again, it shouldn't do, if this is pertaining to your partner catering for your care needs. To qualify for the Care Component of DLA, you do not have to receive the care. It is gauged on whether the care is "reasonably required"
