Distance ? Mobility
Comments
-
They are offering a way out of the appeal system only because the DWP know that the appeal judgement will probably go in the claimant's favour.
If the DWP think that a case needs to be fought (because it is unusual) or that there is limited evidence to support the claimant's claim then they will take it all the way to the Tribunal.
Even if you drop off evidence days before the hearing, a copy of what you have sent is given to the DWP to review. Based on that new evidence you may find that the DWP will at the last minute make an offer or change the decision.

My mental health affects my ability to leave the house, they took away mobility component because at home f2f I walked assessor the 5 steps to the door to let him out.He said I walked at a "normal gait".1

I wish I hadn't read all this now as I will just worry more.
Still waiting for my initial response from my application. How far can I walk without too much pain? 0 metres but I live in a place where I cannot use my wheelchair so I have to walk to get a drink or something to eat or go to the toilet or answer the door. I get no help and that always makes people think I am not so bad except that lies on my reports have blacklisted me from having a Social Worker. I walk because I have no choice and then spend hours sitting in a recliner to recover from each hellish trek I have mentioned. Even so, I have had ambulance crews doubt me because I managed to answer the door which is 10 metres away at least, ignoring the fact that they rang 2 or 3 times before I got there.
I currently have a motobility vehicle because driving is mostly not a problem thanks to cruise control but, if the decision goes badly and I lose it, I cannot replace it if I have to appeal as I cannot use taxi's due to MH issues and no one helps me.
It seems I am just a mass of fear and misery these days.

Are you saying that you cannot be driven by car due to mental health difficulties yet are so mentally alert and physically able to drive a car even if it is an automatic one?Topkitten said:

Using the cruise control function is only best used on long distance driving where the road is clear and open.
To use it in any other way is a nightmare in that the foot brake cancels it and then you have to put it back on watching all of the time that the speed it is set for is suitable for the road conditions that you find yourself in.

Yes I do with factual, honest and reality opinions. If posters only want to hear the positive aspects and never plan for the negatives then they are deluding themselves.tina1888 said:@Yadnad do u sctually help anyone one here with any of your comments?

We don't live in a world (DWP world that is) where every thing in life is clear cut justice. Bad things happen to good people.

@Yadnad no its not factual or honest it is your opinion. You must be such a negative person you tried to do it to me on my post " oh i dont even mention my diabetes" i dont let it affect me etc. As i said before good for u. Amazing!
People on here are on for a variety of reasons most are looking for help a kind word. Unless you can offer this keep your negative opinions to you
Compation, care empathy are really great qualities to have u need to work on that.0 -
Hi @Jaytbm1, I didn’t get the bundle of paperwork from the dwp as they decided not to defend the appeal, I just had a letter (of several pages) setting out their decision and how they arrived at it.
