Subject: The Court, interpreting Regulation (EEC) No 1408/71 as amended by Regulation (EC) No 118/97, by Regulation (EC) No 631/2004 and by Regulation (EC) No 647/2005, affirmed that the mobility component of Disability Living Allowance constitutes a special non-contributory cash benefit within the meaning of that provision, referred to in Annex IIa to those regulations. The Court concluded that nothing is capable of affecting the validity of Article 10a of Regulation No 1408/71, inasmuch as that article allows the award of the mobility component of Disability Living Allowance to be made subject to conditions as to residence and presence in Great Britain.
