    This advert was on last year and I wrote to Vauxhall about it.

    According to the PIP activities you need 12 points to qualify for higher level mobility payment which is required for a car. For what I can see two of the people in the advert shouldn’t qualify – if someone can ‘plan and follow the route of a journey unaided they would score 0 points, the only other qualifying  question would only give them 12 points if they can’t stand at all or can’t move more that 20 metres.

    Needless to say I got no response from Vauxhall.

    And yes, it is sour grapes, despite my wife claiming DLA for fifteen years and suffering from crippling rheumatoid arthritis she was reassessed for PIP as having no mobility issues and had to send her car back.
