Hi everyone,

Could really do with some advice as CAB have been absolutely useless for my dads claim. Wrong information has cost him his mobility award.

Will try to make it as short as possible.

My dad was invited to claim pip last year. He made a mistake on form and had his assessment didn’t get the result back for his mobility he felt he was entitled to. CAB said there is no point going to appeal as you wouldn’t win it best advice would be to do a supersession.

We took that advice filled in another form with them and went to assessment. My dad had his decision back yesterday and they told him we know tour l

    I knew that would be the case I have written to MP and PM. I have received an email from MP and they are looking into this case as I think it’s extremely unfair. When someone is awarded PIP they should be able to change their circumstances despite their age like DLA was. I’d understand if my dad was over 65 when first applying he wouldn’t be entitled to it. He was a change over from DLA.

    Hopefully something comes of it. Plus it’s the principle as to why I’m raising this issue.

      DLA was also exactly the same once the person reached 65 and over, you weren't able to report any changes to the mobility part of that either.

      I do think it was very bad of your local CAB to advice your dad to cancel his Tribunal like that and i think it's CAB you should also be making a formal complaint too. On this occasion i think it's more CAB to blame rather than DWP. I'm not sure how successful you writing to your local MP or PM is going to be but i wish you good luck. xx
