    I can really sympathise with the DWP situation.  I’ve had an assessment outside of the DWP process which gave me enhanced on both elements, was given 4 points for mobility and 8 for daily living, MR changed that to 4 and 6, meaning no daily living anymore.  Appeal this week was an interesting experience, I have 11 points for daily living, 10 for mobility and was advised to enter a change of circumstances to cover my current physical abilities.  My advisor said that this is standard, not many will go from having PIP taken away to double enhanced in one step and when a judge advises in a cryptic way to put int he change form, it’s just a matter of time before that becomes double enhanced, especially as I now have an advisor to ensure the form makes its case the right way from day 1.

    Congrats on getting the car you (kind of) want in the end.  Unfortunately, dealing with the DWP seems to be an exercise in dogged determination.
