RE: Nursing Home Funding and Mobility Component
Tue 21-Sep-04 07:01 PM |
My understanding of this (and it has been successful so far) is that if the LA are funding in any way, then they cannot be treated as being 'in hospital or similar institution'. therefore, when the LA begin to contribute towards the funding, 50/50 or any other split, then DLA mobility should be re-instated or claimed if they meet the eligibility criteria. I haven't got the book with me at the moment, but there is something about this in the CPAG Paying for Care Handbook. Hope this helps, Glenda.
