Hi

Don't know if this applicable to this forum but here goes. My adult son receives DLA high care and low mobility. He also is in receipt of direct payments in his care and support plan. Question is it legal for the LA to use his care and mobility component amounts in his budget calculations for his care and support plan?

Thanks

Whilst PIP is not a means-tested benefit, it is legal for his PIP award to be included in the calculation of his Direct payments, this is a calculation of his care needs and the PIP is awarded to help with these.
