    Hi Libby and welcome

    It should mean that your husband will score the 12 points but nothing is definate with PIP. If you can supply supporting medical evidence it should help

    PIP does seem to have been made more difficult for genuine claimants to receive the right award. I wish you the best of luck if you have to go to f2f
    Please come back and let us know

    The system seems designed to make people give up. The only people that navigate the red tape are the scammers who defraud the system as if it were their job. I don't think there is a system to beat them  which makes it harder for genuine claimants. I am sure that most of us would much rather work given an option. I would never wish anyone to suffer but I really would like for the con artists to walk in my shoes for a day ( figuratively speaking )

    Did you submit a 7 day diary with the application? If not I assume you can send one in late or take it with you. Disabilty Rights (DR) site has a draft diary.  List all the aids your husband uses.
