BUT in my letter he said i was able to move unaided and when informally observed i was walking at a normal pace without any impairment. i sent my form back with a letter stating i didn't agree, but i am yet to hear anything. i keep trying to call them but i am always on hold for about 30 mins.... I am fed up. i can't walk or stand, and i cant even drive as i don't have enough strength in my left leg to push the clutch...Do you mean you requested a Mandatory reconsideration? If so when did you request this?Not being able to drive because you can't use the clutch won't score you any points for PIP, i'm afraid. They'll most likely advise you to drive an automatic.
I went out over last weekend with my son in law. I was absolutely amazed of what he had to do with his car even before he set off. It was just like what you see on the television inside an aeroplane cockpit!! Seriously he had to set up the suspension, ride height, engine power levels, which wheels he wanted to be powered etc all on the screen in front. Then the satmap, then the internet hotspot something. How people now manage to drive is beyond me. You will be needing a pilot's licence next!

Why else would my last assessor make a big thing about me still being allowed to obtain my driving licence and to continue driving.
