My apologies Littledave, I’d missed that key part. I’m not in the demographic being 49, but that’s no excuse. I’ve done a little digging, stopping short of actually reading the whole government paper, and turned up the above link from February this year. It seems pretty clear from this that there will be no mobility component to any disability benefit paid over 65. From what I can ascertain, it’s almost entirely based on financial affordability, with some caveats to fairness thrown in to make it less money driven. I’d be interested to hear what others pick up from the document though.
