I also have been receiving the DLA higher rate mobility since mid 1990s due to contracting polio, my difficulty when walking any distance is the fact that as a result, of my lower limb weakness my foot drops and my toes catch on the floor causing me to trip up and fall so whenever I do walk I run the risk of falling, not sure what to put in this walking distance, I use a walking stick as well as having my husband with me whenever I go out as when I fall I cannot get up without help.
I also use a wheelchair or my scooter If I have to walk any distance. I do have plenty of shoes which show damaged tips to toe part caused by tripping would these shoes do as evidence?


All you can do is present the evidence and see what they say.
