    I didn't think you could claim DLA if you moved abroad?
    I'm not so sure on that but there was a thread here the other day about someone wanting to go to Europe somewhere but they couldn't carry on getting DLA there.

    You can claim the Care component but not the mobility.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton
  • Also if one of you is of State Pension age you will both be covered with the E121.

    As SDW says, you can't carry on claiming the mobility component but you can get the care component and also AA. There was a recent change of rules concerning this, which might explain the different opinions.
