DLA isn't means tested, I think that's a good thing, look how it would affect people and not just income wise, if people that had a certain amount of money were unable to receive DLA then how would they be able to apply for their care needs, home improvements that aid their illness, blue badges etc?
If they had to use the money they had to do all this themselves then they would end up having to claim the benefits at some point anyway.
It would affect the elderly massively that maybe had a few quid put away over the years, they would get knocked back for the benefits and the money they had wouldn't last long again they would then need to apply for benefits anyway.
Where would it end?
