Hello @Quinlan1 and welcome to the community.
It refers to an upper tribunal judgement so yes it should be used considering if a claimant can carry out an activity safely. You can find out more at http://www.cpag.org.uk/content/safely-personal-independence-payment

Don't know what the initials stand for but it looks it's an abrevation for previous appeal cases / regulations ect have you phoned DWP to try and get an answer? Good luck keep us posted and updated on your answers.0

Hi @Quinlan1
Here we go.
This refers to 4 appeals to the Upper Tribunal on the 9th March, 2017.
Google "(2017) UKUT 105 (AAC)"
Importantly, they were heard by a three judge panel, that means they cannot be challenged!
Importantly, all four cases where sent back to the appeal tribunal for rehearing.
This means the secretary of state for DWP, lost these appeals, that he now wishes to rely on your case.
I would seek the advice of a welfare rights officer.
Keep us informed & good luck.0 -

I see we have a 'driving a car argument'.
Doesn't matter if the car is a Motability one you should have the award taken away in any event because you can manage to drive it!!

It just goes to show where the DWP get their reasoning from if you admit to driving a car, automatic, Motability or otherwise when attempting to claim PIP or at a pinch ESA.

Hi everyone, I’ve read a number of people on this forum that have discussed the matter regarding driving ,and this being a big obstacle regarding getting the mobility component. Many years back ( I’m sure there are a number of people on here remember) there was a specifically designed car ( albeit quite controversial these days, which I as a disabled person totally agree ) for disabled people to drive, a funny coloured green/blue car , I think, only one person. So why oh why as the dwp changed the rules regarding the difficulty people are finding. For me I no longer drive, various reasons and I feel it’s safer not to,that doesn’t meant that’s right for others. I’m truly shocked that people could possibly lose their independence because of the fear of losing money. It’s shocking0

Yes it was called the plastic pig
The argument about driving has been around for a while. It was dreamt up by the DWP to discredit anybody and everybody that admitted to driving a car and claiming PIP both the mobility and care elements.
I have to be honest it is a rather skilful argument to use. However being a reader of Rightsnet Welfare Rights Officers say that it is easily dismissed if the right argument is put forward. What the argument is I don't know - maybe Mike [removed by moderator] can enlighten us.
It does make a mockery of the Motability scheme if you admit to driving one of their cars you will lose the mobility element and the car is then taken back!

My argument is that there's certain conditions that shouldn't allow a person to drive. Most pharmacies do deliveries these days so if a person is unable to go out then this should be looked into.

Wow that’s it, thanks I remember a neighbour of my parents had one, thanks for getting that picture up.
You’ re absolutely right. It’s disgusting, you’re dammed if you do, you’re dammed if you don’t!0 -
I have to say though that the assessment provider knew i drove during both my PIP assessments. It didn't go against me in either of mine. My mobility was increased after my review too from standard to enhanced.I'm unable to walk very far but i certainly don't have any issues driving an automatic. I don't suffer with MH and my cognitive ability is fine too.1

That’s great to hear that under certain circumstances it doesnt create a problem for mobility payments.
Ive become disabled over the last 5 year ish and only recently found this forum. I’m shocked and disgusted how people are being treated. Why oh why does this happen, I’m definitely with a tier system for the individuals needs and therefore payments of benefits accordingly. I truly can’t get over that this is happening in 2018. I was shocked the way I was treated in my 1st esa assessment but simply put it down to a rude and thoughtless person. It’s only since on this forum that I’ve come to realise that it’s the norm. Unbelievable!0 -
My reason for not driving is the medication I take and my physical disabilities.0

Not being able to go out is more than possible without a car or even having to use public transport. I use neither and spend most of my week visiting residents of my ward as well as working out of the council offices. It's all about looking at things from a different angle to find ways around the situation you are in.
