I wonder if anyone can offer some advice please. I have an appointment for a PIP re-assessment on Tuesday (20th). It is at a place I haven’t been to before, so I’m not sure about the distances I’ll have to walk to even get into the centre. I suspect it has a car park of its own, unlike the place I have been to before.
My quandary is that I use a walking stick, but I also have a wheelchair which I use if I am going to be walking any great distance. Do I use my wheelchair to go into the meeting, or should I struggle and use just the walking stick? Do I then mention I use a wheelchair to the assessor?
If you would normally use the wheelchair when out then I would use that but understand that PIP does not consider the usage of a wheelchair it the distance that you can reliably walk on the majority of days that is being looked at.
