    Hi Debbie...  I'm just curious about your pip.  (we don't have pip here)..  

    Do you mean that you have been given the standard rate for living until 2018, 'simply because you can walk 50metres without an aid, eg: walking stick..????

    I seriously have to question the ethic's and medical determination.. Seriously!!!???    What if a week later or 3 months later you had to use a cane to complete walking 2 metres, OR 48.5metres...  ???  Lord forbid a wheel chair after 51 metres.... SERIOUSLY..  

    tsk tsk tsk...  

    BUT as you and others have said, at least your getting some assistance which will help to lessen your stress levels etc..   

    Will you take that to review though?

      No not been given it for that I have been given it because I need help with day to day living tasks I didn't get the mobility components because I can walk 50mtrs without an aid but think if things get worse and I have to use an aid I can appeal or reapply not sure x
