Is wearing a caliper to support leg and prevent giving way considered a walking aid? I cannot hold steadying devises because of upper body paralysis and injuries. For PIp would this be considered as walking with an aid. I think I ticked wrong box : :(

If you are unable to walk or your walking is seriously compromised without the callipers then they should be classed as an aid.
