AA and DLA was created by Paul Matthews
I get DLA at the higher rate for Mobility and middle rate for Care Component. I was led to believe that at 65 and over that I could apply for AA on top of my DLA benefit. The AA people have told me on the telephone that I can not claim both, is this true?

DLA and AA are essentially the same benefit, so no, you cannot claim both.

Thank you very much Gordon for both your speedy and definite reply. As to my name showing, that does not bother we in the least, but thanks for pointing it out.
