Apparently I was able to walk unaided yet they noted I was unsteady on my feet at least twice at the assessment but can walk 200 mtrs unaided. This was even though I had someone from deaf blind Scotland escorting me!!
They really are a bunch of morons.

Utterly disgusting Stephen, just try and get a letter of support that can be either from your Gp, some GPs charge a small fee and some just don't entertain giving you one or you could get someone from deaf blind Scotland to write you one just try and get whoever writes you this letter to use the buzzwords that PIP/DWP look for:
Given the
presenting evidence, it is
medically reasonable. for Mr ...... to need the use of these aids in his daily life.
Mr ...... needs help with (list the help you need) which is
understandable given both Mr ........
medical and physical condition/needs.
I fully support Mr......., in the appeal of his Personal Independence Payment claim
given all the supporting medical evidence
It is my understanding that the use of these words is classed as buzzwords.
If you get on really well with your GP you could print off a letter and say that you were advised that this is the sort of thing that PIP is looking for then it would be up to your GP if he or she decides to use these buzzwords but being a professional I really don't see why they would not use this wording.
I wish you all the best in your appeal.
