I'm not getting at you, just a little confused.. You say that your son is not allowed to walk at all, and then you say that he has been told to mobilise as much as pain allows... Which is contradictory.

DLA mobility is considered on how far you can walk outside though, so if he cannot walk outside at all then you need to say so

The Dr has told us to let him mobilise as much as possible but wefind if he mobilises at all he ends up in agony so we dont let him mobilise. We mentioned this when we went to his last appointment so they told me to just keep him in his wheelchair then as the pain is very distressing.
