Should I have informed DWP? was created by billhan
Hi,
A few months ago the O.T. people moved me to a mobility
scooter.
Suddenly worried that I should have informed the DWP at
the time?
Will this be a problem for ESA, and for DLA where they seem
to make such a fuss about your mobility?

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Neither ESA nor PIP consider a claimants usage of a motorised scooter, they look at your ability to walk and for ESA, you ability to self-propel a manual wheelchair.
I'm assuming your conditions have deteriorated? Whilst I can't say that you do not have to notify the DWP, they aren't really bothered if the claimant fails to report a deterioration as only the claimant loses out.

Thank you Gordon.
When you put in lime that it makes sense.
Yes there has been deterioration and I do not
have strength to propel normal wheelchair.
Thanks for putting my mind at rest.
