If you want help, then we really need more information.

 

Why did you lose the appeal? What information did you provide? Does your GP support you? Why do your aids have to go back, surely they are not connected, they are provided by social services or the NHS?

OK - so the doctor assumed that because you could walk 8ft at a certain pace you could keep walking further at that pace?

 

Is that the case? What would happen if you did walk further? How much further could you go? Can you get evidence from a consultant to support your case?

 

I think you will have to go and see your GP. It is not a medical problem, but going to see your GP because you are claiming DLA is just something that people have to do - an utter waste of their time, but there you go. I have just had to take a perfectly healthy autistic child to the GP because of claiming DLA - first time any GP has seen her since she was a baby, she is not ill!

 

Anyway, you need to go and see your GP, you need to take your wife, and tell him/her the whole story. You also need to explain what losing the car means, etc - and ask for the GPs help. It is possible to get DLA without a GPs support - but hard.

 

Don't forget that you are not the only patient the GP has in this situation - and he would rather sort you out now than get you ill and depressed in a years time because you never go out - a little bit of help now will stop you cluttering up his waiting room, long term. (I am joking, well, sort of... but you get the idea?). The GP will also know how to get supporting evidence - and may even, being new to your case, come up with some new ideas to help, or a new consultant to refer to, or a new physio initiative - all of which will help your DLA claim.

 

If you get the GPs support you can put in another claim - and reinstate all the help you had.
