I saw the new GP with my son for something else, and he asked if my son had a Disabled Bus Pass. I told him it had been rescinded, so he found a form and filled it out saying that my son would be refused a driving licence, and would need an escort on journeys he did not know well.
Bus Pass reissued, but it has to be renewed every single year. Plus he was told that the rules are about to change, and refusal of a driving licence may well be removed as a reason to get a Disabled Bus Pass in future.
In the meantime, his twin sister had her DLA-to-PIP assessment around Xmas. It just came back with ZERO points for ALL sections. Obviously the ex-ER Nurse had no background in Psychiatry, and even ignored the psychiatrist's letter confirming hher diagnosis and treatment.
I am preparing the Mandatory Reconsideration letter now, but expect it to be ignored, so it'll be a long wait for Tribunal again.
Quietly slipped into the news, hidden by BREXIT and Rudd's announcement to ease the pressure on OAP disabled, came the news that they want to combine PIP and Work Capability Assessments (ESA) assessments "for efficiency". To screw the disabled more quickly I say....
