You would need to check with uk.authorities to see what benefits are transportable / transferable here..
@paulgourley22 OK, I hope this helps. I also have a disability and looked into this in some detail, though I am a UK citizen. This is what I know, the following disability benefits are payable in Cyprus from the UK.
Disability Living Allowance - Care Component only.
Personal Independence Payment - Care Component Only.
Attendance Allowance
Carers Allowance
Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit
Reduced Earnings Allowance - As a component of Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit.
In the case of Disability Living Allowance and Personal Independence Payment the mobility component is not payable when you move abroad.
