Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a financial support program in the UK designed to help individuals with disabilities or long-term health conditions. It provides assistance to cover extra costs related to daily living and mobility needs. DLA is available for children and adults, and eligibility is based on the level of care and support required, rather than the specific condition. DLA is made up of two components: the care component and the mobility component. The care component helps with personal care needs, while the mobility component assists with transportation and movement. Payments are not means-tested, meaning they are not affected by income or savings.
