PIP and motability
Posted , 5 users are following.
Is the 20m rule for enhanced PIP going to be "seriously" debated?
As I still get full mobility DLA I am in the process of replacing my car at the 3 year lease end.
What an absolutte shambles in the motor trade. I can appreciate that if 10 different customers turned up at a mobility car showroom then they would not find 10 different models of
the same car-fair enough.
I have made appointments with several dealers, however my worst experience was a main dealer in Aldershott, Hants. The disability parking bays are as close to the only entrance as possible, great. Only problem is the mobility desk is about 120 m walk away. When I arrived, breathless and in pain, I mentioned to the salesman that if there was q DWP person witnessing the fact that I walked that distance, they would say I don't deserve mobility.
Funny, your not the first person to say that.Are covert methods being used to test us unknowingly?

Back in 1972 I worked alongside such a claimant. I remember how pleased he was at getting the allowance and he also had to prove that it was needed.
However even though he walked with leg irons and struggled he had to walk up three flights of stairs, several times a day to get to his workbench. He wouldnot qualify today neither.

But from memory the criteria was met simply because he WAS extremely disabled and worst of all it affected his social life terribly.
And don't get me going on anxiety & depression as being a disability of the same class.or category. I worked in a high pressure/highly responsible position for years for the government and the only thing that made it possible given my mental health problems was plenty of will power and good medication.IOn one occasion I had to take sick leave as I was locked up for four weeks in a secure pyschiatric unit under section
