Mobility Payment Roved

Hi

My brother has uncontrolled epilepsy he underwent his second brain operation in the hope this would alleviate the problem at the end of 2016. He got called for an assessment of his condition by the DWP in 2017, as he can walk unaided to the shops about couple hundred years away his mobility component was removed from his DLA payment. He did appeal this decision however he got turned down. As time has passed his seizures are getting far more frequent and as he lives alone I am worried about him (this is another query) should I try to get his mobility conponent reinstated. He has actually attended a memory clinic for problems assossiated with his memory where health professionals have also witnessed the seizures. Sadly he does not know when he has had seizures.

Many thanks

Mary

Thank you Gordon, I am trying to assist a couple of people who are not able to navigate the DWP paperwork, thankfully I discovered your site, it has helped considerably.

This is a minefield. I have checked his payments again, he is, in fact, receiving ESA and PIP, the loss of mobility payment has meant a loss of £82.80 a month. I feel it is very unfair as he has undergone brain surgery twice, his head is covered in scars from falls, he lost 80% vision in one eye plus his front teeth and he still has seizures. These people are truly heartless, it makes me despair of the human race.

Sorry to offload.
