WoooHooo. Just got the result of my second application - and I got Higher Rate Mobility and Lower Rate Care. I have been through it all once last year, including a Tribunal. This time though I also had the benefit of using a Welfare Benefits Advisor from the Council although she is a volunteer (?)So together with the B&W advice I got a result.
I feel as though I have passed a degree course. Now I just have to wait for the PIP rules to happen.
