Components of CDP

The rates and components an individual is entitled to is dependent on whether they meet the criteria set out in the regulations for CDP for each component.

Case managers must consider entitlement to each component independently when making a determination. This is because an individual may be entitled to one, both or neither of the components. For more information, please see:

  • Lower rate mobility component chapter
  • Higher rate mobility component chapter
