Hi louise91 i can imagine how stressed you are right now as I am currently going through a pip tribunal. Did you find out if they contacted your gp before they made their decision? They don't always do this and go by the previous report from the gp for dla. It might be worth looking into

charlene said:Louise99. I wear an hearing aid in each ear. I was awarded 2 pts on assessors assessment. Maybe you need to explain more fully, if your mum has problems with still hearing.
Although I wear hearing aids, my brain does not filter out background noise so to hear them people need to talk clearly and not mumble. If the don't my AIDS are useless. I have a few other issues with hearing, but that is the main one. -

I don't think it is just a case of health limitations but drivers (and driving instructors) should question if their capabilities are good enough to warrant being at the wheel of a potentially dangerous vehicle.
Oh and I wonder how many people drive whilst on prescribed drugs despite being told not to? -
Hi @louise91, sorry if my post was a bit blunt and yes it was horrific in more ways than anyone could ever imagine.
I used my driving licence as id at my pip assessment this week and was asked if the DVLA had talked to me about revoking it, my answer was no but I would not even consider driving anyway.
In my opinion it makes no difference on peoples disabilities it is more a case of them using common sense (like your mum) knowing when they are fit to drive or not. As a driving instructor you must have had some very scary moments and thought hell no this person should not be driving and no matter how good you are at teaching them they will never learn!
