    There's nothing to stop you volunteering or even working full time while on DLA. It's not means tested and it's not an out of work benefit.

    The only condition is that you have care/mobility needs. If these have changed since your assessment then you need to inform the DLA team.
  • it's your choice that you want to do it. And volunteering is a different motivation compared to other sort of stuffs.
    don't invest on something non profitable.
    if a house was built by man nature is built by time.
