Bvvp/positional vertigo was created by Bailey 75
Hi I am having awful trouble getting pip to understand just how disabling bvvp is & that it can be in short bursts & provoked specially by movement.i even gave them an example of crossing a road & having to stop in the road due to a vertigo attack. I was lucky my partner was with me to guide me across. Or crossing a road with blurred vision & the ground spinning which is dangerous & complete lack of safety. I never go out alone as I have the fear of having an accident. I am speaking to my doctor in the next few days to see if he can help. How do i get them to understand that yes I can walk 400 metres but stop 20-50 meters in due to dizziness, wait for it to pass and can carry on again till it hits again. I explained it in black and white with distances & they still dismiss the safety aspect of this..
Can anyone help me with this as I am at my witts end with them. I have submitted 2 mandatory reconsiderations & again been disallowed.

I assume this is for PIP.
The first thing is to stop saying you walk 400m unless you actually can, you are just causing confusion by doing so. You must talk about the distance you can reliably walk on the majority of days, both of these terms are described in the PIP Claim guide.

If you have to wait for the dizziness to pass for a reasonable time then you may be able to argue that you cannot walk a distance in a Timely Manner.
