War Pension and DLA

War Pension and DLA was created by wolfchile
Hello
I receive DLA middle rate care and lower rate mobility and want to know if I can claim war pension. My DLA is my only income although my wife claims income support for us both. I was worried if I made a claim for war pension it could affect my DLA and the income support and if I am unsuccessful it could jeopardize my DLA and cause it to be reviewed? It is for similar medical conditions although I want to claim war pension for what happened to me whilst in the army and why I was medically discharged. I have tired to contact RBL and SSAFA and Veterans helpline but they didn't know the answer. :(

All I can tell you is that DLA is not a means tested benefit. I get DLA even though I have an NHS Ill-Health Retirement Pension.

I am afraid that our Moderator who deals with war pensions, etc. is unavailable at the moment, and is unlikely to be online for some time to come, so I can only refer you to the British Legion who should be able to put you in contact witha suitably trained advisor.

When were you M.D.? As this will depend on what scheme you go onto.

I think the issue is the income support because dla is not means tested
