Anyone else have trouble getting PIP after a head injury?

Anyone else have trouble getting pip after a head injury? I was in a crash 5 years ago and had a head injury with no memory of getting home. I had a seizure a week later while holding a boiling kettle scalding myself. I get pip for fibro etc but not memory problems. Anyone get pip for memory problems with forgetting driving instructions etc?

PIP isn't about your ability to drive. You said you have trouble getting PIP but you're already claiming it. Whether it's possible to score more points for higher award, will totally depend on exactly how your conditions affect you.

I had a fractured skull and brain damage 20 years ago. I informed the DVLA and I was banned from driving until I could prove that my injury was no longer a problem. Fortunately I never had seizures.

Putting aside that your condition is not taken into account for PIP, just how your condition affects you, if you had a brain injury that affects your driving you are legally bound to inform the DVLA which may result in your licence being suspended until you have proof that you can drive safely again.

Quite rightly so.

The thread you have just posted on is 4 years old. Hopefully OP has progressed things since then.
