Hi @lilmo
Welcome to the community! Would you mind telling us a bit about yourself?Disability Gamechanger - 2019 -
I am a 53 year old woman, I have been registered disabled since 2012 after a man fell on me from the top deck of a bus in Edinburgh. I was eventually awarded high rate DLA which ended in May. I had an embarrassing medical and because of the answers I gave, my benefit was downgraded to standard rate. I lost my motability car and I now spend most days in my house because walking is excruciating, bus travel can have me sobbing on the bus,so unless I have to go out, I don't. I have appealed the decision and now I'm just waiting on a date for a tribunal which terrifies me

Hi @lilmo
I am so sorry for what you've been through, many members have experienced the tribunal process and I'm sure they will be happy to help you by giving advice and tips to prepare.Disability Gamechanger - 2019 -
Hi @limo and a warm welcome to the community. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us about this. If you make a post on the DLA page then I hope we would be able to help with this stage of your claim. I hope you find the community a supportive place and please do let us know if there is anything that we can do

Hello @lilmo Thought I would like to offer my support if I can as a community member.
Understand your situation and I am afraid lost my car. So have to look at alternatives.
Looking at taxis. Could be a possible answer to yourself. I was thinking the story you have told about the bus. I myself have walking issues and get constant pain.
Always had a car for twenty years or more. Now can not afford one. Use on line shopping and I have found my stress levels. Gone down. Doing that.
It is just the anxiety and the unknown about the future.
I hope I can be positive and give you any support if you need it. We are a community who try and help each other.
Have you got any body to help you at the tribunal. Something to consider. I wish you well for a successful outcome.
Pleasure to meet you
Take care

I would do online but since May someone has made repeated attempts to hack my bank account. Having already had my identity stolen my trust is gone. I can only go food shopping if my daughter is available to carry it
