DLA bandings - how do they work.

[MincePieFlavouredVoidka]

Is there such a thing as a set of criteria which sets out what level of care/mobility problems is needed to fit into each rate?

(Does that make sense?)

I am watching this with interest - was about to ask literally the same question!

There are, it is something along the lines of frequent care in day = Low care, frequent in day and some at night, or lots at night = middle care, not sure about high as we aren't in that category.

Mobility - low - problems with walking in new areas compared to peers, high - unable to walk more than a few steps.

Mind slightly rusty as a while since we were awarded DLA, I think it is explained in the Cerebra guide, or someone on here told me!

A lot to read, but very useful. LittleMissGreen pretty much summed it up though.
