hope this is the right place for this, if someone has 24 hour care, and they had been in receipt of mobility/disability allowance would this stop because the care had been put in place.

do you mean in their own home? As far as i know, dla is stopped if you are an inpatient somewhere ie hospital or hospice(i think for more than 4 weeks) but not if you are in your own home After all, if you are in hospital then everything is already provided, so no need to pay extra for mobility/care. A residentail or nursing home counts as your own home

Is the DLA only for mobility, or does it also include the care element of DLA?

Who is paying for the 24/7 care?

Did whoever that is know about the DLA when they made the decision on funding the care?
