I never claimed to have difficulty moving around..?
(I still got my PIP on the correct mental health grounds that I was applying on though after MR.)

I could walk into the room with a walking stick...(I was slowly hobbling in!)
I could get up and sit down...(with the help of my walking stick and the arm of the chair)
Based on the above,I could walk over 200mtrs repeatedly
I could talk in sentences
I could focus on the questions being asked of me!What was I supposed to do focus on what was out the window?
There was a lot more they wrote which was untrue as well.
Unbelievable how they get away with writing these lies.
