I am a 53 year old woman, I have been registered disabled since 2012 after a man fell on me from the top deck of a bus in Edinburgh. I was eventually awarded high rate DLA which ended in May. I had an embarrassing medical and because of the answers I gave, my benefit was downgraded to standard rate. I lost my motability car and I now spend most days in my house because walking is excruciating, bus travel can have me sobbing on the bus,so unless I have to go out, I don't. I have appealed the decision and now I'm just waiting on a date for a tribunal which terrifies me0

Hi @limo and a warm welcome to the community. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us about this. If you make a post on the DLA page then I hope we would be able to help with this stage of your claim. I hope you find the community a supportive place and please do let us know if there is anything that we can do

Hello @lilmo Thought I would like to offer my support if I can as a community member.
Understand your situation and I am afraid lost my car. So have to look at alternatives.
Looking at taxis. Could be a possible answer to yourself. I was thinking the story you have told about the bus. I myself have walking issues and get constant pain.
Always had a car for twenty years or more. Now can not afford one. Use on line shopping and I have found my stress levels. Gone down. Doing that.
It is just the anxiety and the unknown about the future.
I hope I can be positive and give you any support if you need it. We are a community who try and help each other.
Have you got any body to help you at the tribunal. Something to consider. I wish you well for a successful outcome.
Pleasure to meet you
Take care

I would do online but since May someone has made repeated attempts to hack my bank account. Having already had my identity stolen my trust is gone. I can only go food shopping if my daughter is available to carry it0
