The residence and presence test
You must:
be ordinarily resident in the Uk
If you are terminally ill you do not have to satisfy the presence test though you must still be ordinarily resident in UK.
If you go abroad but intend to return you can continue to be paid disability living allowance for the first 26 weeks of your temporary absence.
This time limit can be extended if you are being treated for an illness or disability that began before you left Great Britain and the Secretary of State agrees that it is consistent with the proper administration of the benefits system to pay you for a longer period.
If you intend to live abroad permanently your disability living allowance will stop as soon as you go abroad

seeing as the top rate f dla would still only give you an income of less than 5 grand a year, its very unlikely you would get a mortgage for the amount you would need. Even if they allowed you 5x the amount - what could you get for 25000 pounds? also, isnt dla renewable every 3 years at the least? therefore you cant garuntee any income in the future
you could of course always save up your dla for a few years till you had enough to buy somwhere.
