In the US, the only use for DME in conjunction with an ILS approach is to fix the OM, if necessary for that. Subsequently, it is only for situational awareness. The MAP is DA, on the GS. If you have already fixed the OM on the approach, then you have no further legal need for DME. It could be useful under many circumstances, but it's not required. What is legal across the pond I don't know.
