PIP Mobility Question was created by Changes2023
I found my pa4 form from my last pip award , and i used to drive myself to appointments , as my carer couldnt drive at the time and i told the assessor ,

My review is in a few days time , telephone one , the thing is my carer now drives all the time as they passes there driving test to be able to drive me
, ive stopped driving as i dont feel comfortable or competent to do so ,
Will this go against me as last time i scored 12 points for "not able to follow a familiar place etc" ,

And i got a motarbility car and this has been my life line as in getting to my appointments and actually being able to get the help ive needed , living so rural

Im worried as my carer drives that i wont fit that criteria anymore any advice please help

I have moved your post to its own topic, we ask members not to post their questions in other's topics as it can lead to confusion as to what advice is being given.

Your inability to drive strengthens your case as it removes one of the "get-outs" that assessors use to reduce points.
