Pip award letter

So after being on DLA for 11 years, I am now well enough not to get mobility part of pip. I do however get standard for help & care. The assessors report was full of lied & inaccuracies. I don’t qualify because in their opinion I was not unkempt, agitated or tense, I kept eye contact & could plan & undertake a journey! How is most of that relevent to mobility? I did tell her I couldn’t plan a journey! I do get anxious if I drive to our local shops with him with me!! I now have to give our car up! The system stinks!!

I agree that DLA is different to PIP in how it is assessed.
Having said that if someone who has been in receipt of High Mobility of DLA for 11 years surely the DWP must explain why at least 10 points were not awarded for PIP. Yes the distance has been reduced from 50 metres (DLA) to 20 metres (PIP) in order to gain the ability to get a Motability car.
