A home visit may not even be an option as Mrs H has explained, whether to ask for one is up to you and John to consider, again as advised you will need the support of his GP if you are to do so.

I have merged your query with the previous topic relating to John's PIP as we ask members to keep everything relating to the same claim in one topic.

Having read the previous messages, I am rather confused! John was supposed to have a home visit for a PIP assessment in August of last year. What happened please?

Sorry I didn't mean to confuse you the questions from august were from my DLA to pip transfer which I am relieved to say went well I had a home visit without asking for one and the nice lady that came must of got the info she needed as I was awarded full on both parts until 2019 bit this last message is from Johns (housemate)claim for DLA to pip transfer

Ah, thanks, now I understand! As a result I have separated the two topics again as merging them would clearly cause more confusion!

Thank you sorry about the confusion
I think we will try and get an appointment closer to home then hopefully that would be half the battle
What happens if they cancel an appointment due to possible bad weather?
Just one further question I know that using a stick used to go against you as if you use a stick you don't need help but does this same thinking go for the use of a mobility cart?

If the Assessment Provider cancels the appointment then it does not count against you although you might want to have a look at the following

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/forum?view=topic&catid=10&id=107189

PIP Treats aids such as a stick differently from DLA and in general using an aid will lead to the claimants scoring points, however, this is less the case for Moving Around. The PIP test only looks at the claimants ability to stand and move (walk), no account will be taken of a wheelchair or buggy, if you need to use these when out then you need to explain why you are unable to walk rather than why you use the mobility cart.
