I use a mobility scooter for all moving around outdoors and have done so for several years. Any outdoor walking is very painul and leaves me breathless too.

Despite having a lifetime DLA award, at the age of 67 I've been "invited" to apply for PIP. Should I tell them I can only go outdoors using my scooter or will this go against me?

Hi M

We cannot tell you what to put on your form. However, if you have great difficulties in walking, the assessor is likely to question how you manage outside.
