A Sensible And Welcome Rethink On Mobility Payments

 

The English Community Care Association (ECCA), the leading representative charity for independent care providers, has wholeheartedly welcomed the statement today from Minister Maria Miller that the DLA mobility element for people living in care homes will not be withdrawn as had originally been proposed by the government.
 
Martin Green, Chief Executive of ECCA, says:
In an era of personalisation, choice and control it would have been a mockery to deprive people of this payment that gives people real independence.”
 
 
Martin Green continues:
“This will come as a huge relief to people living in care homes and in receipt of the mobility payment. We applaud the government for listening to residents and organisations like ECCA in our representations on this issue.”
