    Depends on the assessor you get I think.  My transfer from DLA to PIP was a disaster, assessor wrote I walked 85m to the assessment room from the car park, in fact it was around 15m as I was dropped off at the front door of the building.  So that lost my mobility award and of course the car 🙁

     

    Next assessment was a home visit, I’d been in hospital the day before and couldn’t really walk at all, I was seated the entire assessment.  She still wrote I walked over 30m to my car, difficult as a: I never even stood up and b: the car is right outside the front door so 12m at most.  At least I managed to get standard mobility that time.

     

    My last assessment form came just before Christmas, I wrote in the “any other information” box that I hoped the assessors wouldn’t tell lies this time and let them know about the previous two assessments.  To my surprise I got a paper based assessment and awarded enhanced mobility and standard care for an “ongoing period” which should be 10yrs.

    Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
