The DPC should be visible. If you point over it at an angle it can cause a bridge for damp.

You wont get much damp going up past 10/15mm of mortar on an external face of a wall
 
I agree that you probably won't get much if any damp, but its the same with render which stopped just above DPC nowadays.
