Hi I was awarded pip late last year for daily living but not mobility. How bad does my mobility need to be to be awarded mobility component? I can manage short distances with the aid of a walking stick.eg Going around a small shop, anything requiring a longer walk requires me to use a mobility scooter. I’ve been diagnosed with neuropathy which affects my balance and walking ability.
