Hi Everyone
slightly confused with where i am up to
i am on both elements of enhance pip
i am mostly wheelchair bound but can get around the house
with my frame, and by hanging on to door frames banister rails etc
the fact that i can do this at 20 meters,
does that mean i have to inform the DWP as a change of circumstances
with making small progress in my condition
it looks like that i am under the award score for the enhanced payment
do i contact the DWP or wait until my award is up
regards

The test is about what you can do outdoors not indoors.

Hi
thanks for the reply
i looked and cant find any info
regarding the 20 meter walk test -
As Mike has advised, inside doesn't count. How far are you able to walk outside on level ground regularly and reliably? https://pipinfo.net/activities/moving-around

Hi Poppy
i cant really walk outside for long maybe 10/15 feet very slowly
and holding on to my frame with a vice tight grip -
Then you have your answer. Nothing has changed and there is nothing to report.
