I’m very disappointed to see certain comments on this thread. While it’s doubtless true that there are people with Depression&Anxiety who are taking the mickey – how can anyone say these conditions when genuinely serious aren’t disabling or a disability? Disabled people gatekeeping what ‘true’ disability is really quite grotesque to me, there was a time autism spectrum disorder wouldn’t have been considered to be a true disability either. It’s a very crabs in a bucket mentality.
Unfortunately there is a minority who are exploiting the PIP system, I don’t tell anyone my car is a Motability vehicle including my daughter, I have had my crutches kicked from underneath me, push off my mobility scooter and verbally abused for being disabled, this minority are putting disabled people in a bad light.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.
