My elderly mother moved into a care home around 7 months ago. Before she moved into the care home she was receiving high rate mobility DLA, because the care home was local authority funded her DLA entitlement was stopped.

 

I received a letter from the DWP today and one of the paragraphs stated that there is a possibility of having her DLA re-instated, I have attached a scan of this paragraph. Has there been a recent change for this DLA entitlement for persons in residential homes?

My understanding is that the government wanted to remove the mobility component from those in care homes. But there was a huge uproar from the public. (their mobility needs have to be funded somehow and the care homes and LA don't always have the funds) The government then backed down and decided to allow residents to their mobility component.

However this will not affect the op as he mentions his elderly mother is Local Authority funded, not NHS

Ah righto, I see this judgment was dated 2012 as well, so I don't understand the reference to the Judgment in the OPs letter.
