Petition Age/Disability Discrimination

More details

The present law concerning the allowance High Rate Mobility Allowance component disbarrs people of 65 and over from claiming this benefit.
This is surely discrimination against a section of our society who may be more in need of assisstance with their mobility than any other.
We want the government to remove the age limit for claiming Disability Living Allowance Mobility Component or its proposed successor altogether and backdate such a change for a period of five years.
