Paragraph 6 Persons aged 65 and over and entitled to the lower rate mobility component

Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

(1)

This paragraph applies where a person on or after attaining the age of 65 is entitled to the mobility component payable at the lower rate specified in regulation 4(2)(b), and—

(a)

an adjudicating authority is satisfied that the decision giving effect to that entitlement ought to be revised on a review under section 100A, 100B or 104A; or

(b)

the person makes a renewal claim for disability living allowance.

(2)

A person to whom this paragraph applies shall not be precluded, solely by reason of the fact that he has attained the age of 65, from entitlement to the mobility component, but in determining the person’s entitlement to that component, section 37ZC(11) shall have effect as if paragraph (a), and the words “in any other case” in paragraph (b), were omitted.
