Some Help Please..
Afriend of mine living here in Gran Canaria was told he might get DLA..my mate is 65 ,he gets uk state pension and £120 Industrial injuries money a month..he was told that because he had to move to a hotter climate because of his injuries he might be able to get DLA.. when he was 63 he hurt his back in work and is 15% disabled..in winter in UK he found the pain was bad and moved to the heat.. I hope this makes sense as im 72 and find it hard to say things

I believe Disabled Living Allowance IS a transferable benefit - i.e. you can still get it if you move abroad. Citizens Advice will tell you. However that might only be if he was getting it before he moved to the Canaries. |
Re: Some Help Please..
you cannot get DLA if living abroad, although certain elements such as the care component are transferrable to EEA countries
http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/MoneyTax...le/DG_10012424 http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Disabled...port/DG_073387 if he wasnt getting DLA before leaving the Uk he may have difficulty in getting it now will the Industrial Injuries payment effect the DLA? suggest he tries the links shown above and makes contact with the relevent UK authorities. rgds |

Re: Some Help Please..
As i said he moved here for a better life as the 15% disablement is in his spine and he can walk better now in the heat.. he was told by a person on holiday that he should apply as he had to leave the UK to get away from the damp and cold that give him bad pains..Hope you understand this..

& even if they DO care/understand - he might still not be entitled the only way for him to find out for sure is to ask the DWP directly, as has been said |
