I'm not sure passing a PDF/UA check is always a good sign of sufficient accessibility.

Just had a PDF from a client that consisted of only P tags, and several tables and sidebar boxes weren't even tagged at all.
But it did pass the Acrobat checker, and even had the PDF/UA identifier/medallion on it.
