Do the CF members here who are in receipt of the higher rate mobility component of DLA feel that paralympians, athletes, should qualify for the same benefit as they do?

Is it relevant that by definition, they are very mobile, possibly already receive UK Sport, Lottery and sponsored funding to enable them to participate in a chosen career whilst many young ambulant people are scrambling around to get a job, to buy a car, buy a home and raise a family?
