DLA awarded

Hi

Hoping someone can help?

My mum has just been awarded DLA mobility allowance at the higher rate . Is there anything else that she is now entitled to claim?
She gets the state pension and has a private pension that takes her over the limits for the pension credit. She does own her own house with a small mortage. Just want to make sure she is getting what she is entitled to.

Thanks

Lisa
