Conditions which qualify for enhanced rate mob?

Thank You

Are you referring to the A-Z of Conditions in the DLA section?

If you are then I am afraid you have misunderstood the purpose of this DWP document, it is not a list of conditions that qualify you for DLA, no such list exists, DWP Decision Makers are not medically trained and the document provides a reference point for them to refer to, rather than having to involve medical services which are likely to be chargeable to the DWP.

In a similar vein there is no list of conditions that will qualify a claimant for either component of PIP! PIP awards are based on the limitations that result from a condition, not the condition itself; two claimants with the same condition, even the same severity, could still have very different limitations.

There are some disabilities that would qualify for Enhanced Mobility, but it is because they meet the criteria rather than there being on a list, so a double leg amputee would qualify because they are unable to place a biological foot on the ground and a paraplegic would because they cannot stand and move more than 1m.
