hi, i have changed from DLA where i was on high high, ive received the results of my PIP assessment and theyve decided that im only going to get the standard rates on both. Im really disabled with chronic Rhumatoid and Osteo Arthrirtis and Fibro myalgia, i walk with the aid of crutches and can do for about 20 metres. Im so very worried as i was due to pick my new car next week, but now i wont be able to have one as im not on the advanced rate for mobility, i dont know when they will take my car off me or anything. i sit here crying as i will never be able to afford my own car, and i just wont be able to go out anywhere. I would be really grateful for any help or advice,

thank you, Damara.

    UPDATE = I've had my tribuneral and I WON 😊😊... anyone going to tribuneral, make sure you have sent in as much medical evidence that you can. And be prepared for the curveball questions ... I even got asked who painted my finger nails and toe nails !!! (my daughter did them for me)

    But PLEASE PLEASE don't give up. Before my appeal I was awarded standard care and standard mobility and lost my mobility car.

    Now I've been awarded enhanced care and enhanced motability.

    Keep going, I know it's a long old slog, but hang in there

    Dee.
