Too frightened to ask for the MR

That being, 'you can plan and follow a route of a journey unaided.

It was the word 'Unaided' which is incorrect. In the form and at the F2F it was mentioned that she cannot go anywhere without assistance because of her condition which she's had for 4 years now. She could not cross the road safely because moving her head repeatedly left to right without increasing her already bad balance condition which then cause her to move slowly as if drunk.
They had consultants letters from many examinations which concluded that she 'presented' with unsteadiness and other tests which proved a problem with her balance mechanism in one ear which is causing her problems. MRI and CT scans revealed no evidence of stroke or tumours which I presume the DWP looked at rather than the other supporting pages of evidence. I still believe we have a strong case IF it ends up to a tribunal, but it's the uncertainty of the MR that has made her reassess her options even though we know she was 'railroaded' into not being able to answer the HCP's questions as she asked questions whilst she was trying to answer the last ones due to her mild memory problems which they knew about.

I do try ask if she would rather ask but 9 times out of ten it's me who will initiate the conversation with the assistant. I know that's clutch at straws but then again, the HCP was told that as well.
AT the moment we just feel so angry that she has been rated in this manner, But then again, I guess that's what the DWP are doing to lots of people!

Just looking at a copy of her PIP application and looking at the going out page Q 13a answered yes Q 13b answered yes Q 13c answered yes all with what we thought was supporting evidence from consultants and the Q13 extra information went into Q 15 'additional information' BUT all these were dismissed by the HCP and decision maker!
We still have the HCP report to arrive which I know will be close to or after the MR period has lapsed which would give us a more informative idea as what to do next.

Oh. Sorry im assuming you have copy of the PIP application form ?
