Nil points for mobility!

Hi all,
I would like help. I get full care rate for the PIP. But nil for mobility. I have had the condition since birth.
I have tried thousands of times to get what I need. As the condition is degenerative.
Please can someone help. Had enough of being rejected based on a genuine case.
I have done the CAB/Council/.TRibunal/Assesment a few times. But I think the assesment centres need their eyes testing.
It was first awarded as(Disabillity Living Allowance) Circa 1997. Ridiculous system. Run by ridiculous people. Then sanctioned for two years. Nice eh. Tribunal eh!
I hold out hope. Albeit it smaller than a needle.
The condition is not going to improve and I need full allowance for the Mobility. I spend weeks on end inside my flat. As anxious about x y or z affecting my chances of getting anywhere!
I have known of Scope since i was eight or nine. I am now 36 nearly 37 and cannot get the help I GENUINELY need.
A good guide would be useful. The current system is a disgrace to the disabled community who carry the weight through their lives. Not just me.
Looking forward to any one handed keyboard warriors(Bad Joke) No. I love Sarcasm!

I am anxious that even my own charity isnt that arsed either. Joke.
PIP and DLA have the mobility part in common.
Logic dictates that if you have a DLA high rate for mobility you will have satisfied the DWP that you cannot walk more than 50 metres. On the assumption that your ability has not changed since you were awarded that DLA element then for PIP you should get a minimum of 8 points and a maximum of 10 for mobility as that also refers to the inability to walk more than 50 metres.
There is no rhyme nor reason why this should not happen. We all know it doesn't work that way for some weird reason.
I would have thought that the DLA award for high mobility in itself would be enough evidence to guarantee Standard rate mobility for PIP.
