Hi, thought those of you who claim DLA for your children with diabetes would be interested in the following: CPAG welcomed the statement by Lord McKenzie on the Welfare Reform Bill in the House of Lords that the Government ?have now decided to ensure that lone parents on income support who have a child under the age of 16 and in receipt of any rate of care component of disability living allowance will not be required to undertake work-related activities.? While previously, lone parents with children in receipt of middle or higher rate care DLA were exempt from the requirement to engage in work-related activities or face benefit sanctions, lone parents with children on the lower rate of DLA were not.
