Welcome to the Disability Living Allowance Advisory Board Website
Review of the Disability Living Allowance Advisory Board.
This review, published 19 November 2007, looks at the Disability Living Allowance Advisory Board (DLAAB). The DLAAB is a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) and was established In 1992. Its responsibilities are to:
- to give advice to the Secretary of State for the Department for Works and Pensions (DWP) on any matters he may refer to them for consideration;
- give advice to doctors working for the Department on any case or question they refer to the Board;
- produce an annual report of the Board's activities.
Consultations with organisations of and for disabled people
The Board is always keen to meet national organisations of and for disabled people to discuss issues on DLA and AA that fall within the Board's statutory remit. These meetings provide a beneficial opportunity to discuss matters of mutual interest.
The Board very much welcomes hearing from the organisations and is pleased to convey their informed opinions to the Department's policy makers.
More in depth information on who we have met and what we learned is available in our Annual Reports all of which are included on this website.
