in PIP, DLA, and AA
Hi i had previously been on Daily Living standard, it ran out in February, after assessment got awarded Standard mobility, 6 points for DL so put in a MR in April, received the outcome today they have overturned the decision on mobility, so now been awarded enhanced I’m delighted with it didn’t think anything would’ve been changed as it’s a low % that gets changed,at MR no change in DL will seek advice from welfare rights wether to appeal.But delighted mobility got changed ☺️

    Hi @Lou67 That is fantastic news great for you, I would seriously think about not taking it further as they look at the whole award at tribunal and I wouldn't personally risk what you have got, but that isd just my opinion.

    Get looking for a car but again think about how to get the cat as the mobility scheme is not always the best option as the car is never yours and taken away if you lose the mobility element. It can be better to fund a car privately using the money as once it is paid for it is yours.

    Also if your daughter is the driver she can only use the car when you are in it or to do something for your purpose, the car must be left at your address. Having a private car she can come and go as she likes

    Just have a good think about everything

    @Lou67 have a look at buying a car on PCP... this way the payments are lower and deposit lower. There is a balloon payment at the end so you can put the car in against a new one and start the process again. Did this years ago it’s an option to HP and if you don’t do horrific miles it is quite a good deal. Xx
