Welfare Reform Bill

Before my noble friend rises to speak, can the Minister provide some clarification on something he just said? He mentioned that children who are registered blind will automatically be put on to the higher rate. I am sure that other noble Lords have received the briefing from Every Disabled Child Matters in which there is a question I should like the Minister to help me understand—being gentle with me as this is not, by some way, my specialist area. Every Disabled Child Matters states that children with Down’s syndrome often receive middle-rate care awards, and children with cerebral palsy might receive higher-rate mobility allowance only and lower-rate care. Can the Minister explain the rationale for children who are registered blind being on the higher rate, while other children who may also have very high care costs are on the lower rate?
