Removal Of Mobility Component Of Disability Living Allowance From People In Residential Care

EDM number 1000 in 2010-12, proposed by Martin Caton on 12/11/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Elderly people and Sickness, disability and carers' benefits.

That this House notes with extreme concern the announcement in the Comprehensive Spending Review that the Government intends to stop paying the mobility component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA) to people in residential care; recognises that DLA mobility component allows a disabled person to meet costs such as for a powered wheelchair, accessible taxis or a motability car; acknowledges that disabled people who receive state-funded residential care often have to manage on low incomes, receiving just 22 a week in the form of their personal expenses allowance; believes that removal of DLA mobility component will seriously impact on the independence and quality of life of those in residential care; and urges the Government to reverse this decision.

This motion has been signed by a total of 75 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
