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
As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.
As part of a community I helped to create change!
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.
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.
Don’t worry I will not be on here again all ready down now the knife in
al I use the car for is weekly hospital trip to get TNF drugs
I was honest as I new they could find out
with luck with no drugs be dead by xmas
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 Hughes 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!
You’ re absolutely right. It’s disgusting, you’re dammed if you do, you’re dammed if you don’t!
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!
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.
It is found in many decision notices to reinforce why an award should not be made.
It has already been the subject of many conversations on Rightsnet over the past 12 months. It is nothing more than a cut and past statement that the DWP thought up.
me can’t use a bus as I need the toilet now same with a taxi if I have a accendent in my car it’s ok hospital 10 mins away that’s all I drive go to the loo before I set off when I get there This has got me so upset
Surprisingly there are a number of claimants who make it extremely hard on purpose for the assessor to give a good report and the DWP to make a half decent award. I know of one individual that makes it his life mission to be as awkward as he can simply to create a situation that enables him to complain to his MP at regular intervals. I am sure that he really doesn't give a damn if he gets an award or not - he likes to create chaos and aggravation.
My comments regarding how the pip/esa system work as shocked me, I have no doubt that many,many people do receive the correct level of benefit. I have and many others I assume have and will be treated with respect and decency, this should be for all. Why lie in an assessment, if a person doesn’t meet the criteria for a descriptor then that’s it but to blatantly lie when these people have the evidence baffles me.
I’m waiting for my dm decision and my stress level is through the roof, goodness knows how people must feel when there’s lies involved and their pip/esa as been declined. Shocking.

I and everyone else can have an opinion about anything. It certainly does not need to be true. As an example I could have the opinion that the majority of people that have a Blue Badge are faking their condition to get it, the truth however is that most are genuinely in need of that badge and are entitled to it.
