DLA Rates 2024 - Disability Living Allowance Payments, Eligibility and UK Benefits Guide

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) rates in 2024 provided financial assistance to eligible children and existing adult claimants with disabilities who needed additional care, supervision or help with mobility.

From 8 April 2024, Disability Living Allowance rates increased by 6.7%, reflecting the annual uprating of UK social security benefits.

For the 2024–2025 financial year, DLA payments ranged from £28.70 to £108.55 per week for the care component and £28.70 to £75.75 per week for the mobility component, depending on the claimant's assessed needs.

DLA is administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in England and Wales, with different arrangements applying in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Although most new adult disability benefit claims are now made through Personal Independence Payment (PIP) or the relevant Scottish disability benefit, DLA remains important for eligible children and certain existing adult claimants.

For families, homeowners, tenants and landlords, understanding DLA payments can help with financial planning, accessible housing arrangements and the costs of supporting a disabled family member.

Fraser Bond supports homeowners, landlords, tenants and property investors through residential sales, lettings, property management and real estate advisory services across London and the wider UK.
