I've had my case adjourned but I can't keep my car

I went to the tribunal hearing today and sadly it was adjourned due to lack of medical evidence and also that they wanted to get in touch with the DWP to find out why I was put on the enhanced rate of mobility. But motability aren't willing to help me out to keep my car, so I don't know what to do?

I am surprised that Motability have given you a lot of leeway already after the original decision made by the DWP refused you enhanced mobility. Should you win at the appeal hearing then you can go and choose another car.
Look at it another way if you had a private HP finance deal on the car you would find a car transporter taking the car away if you failed to pay more than one payment to the finance company.
Sometimes it is better to have your own car, pay your own finance and that way it will not be removed.
Enhanced rate mobility under PIP you cannot walk more than 20 metres.
So those that claimed DLA and stated that they could walk up to 50 metres and no further will have to show that their walking has deteriorated considerably if they are intending to rely on the previous DLA award to get the equivalent under PIP.
