    Yes, I have to give this back if I order another car though, which I am hoping I will be able to do very soon!

    It says you need to speak to them about it, but hopefully the backpay of the benefits may help out with any money that you need to spend in the mean time.

    If you had read the earlier posts here instead of old posts on this account, you would see that post was not made by me, but my friend looking for advice - I am not married or pregnant (as I explained earlier and thereafter deleted the post to avoid further confusion) I also don't have a neighbour within 5 miles, so the second post about driveways also was my friend.... However if it helps you to justify being judgemental to someone currently going through a very testing time in their life, by all means don't believe a word I've written and continue to be horrible! It makes absolutely no difference to my situation!

    I did real all the posts on this thread, knew it must be a juicy one by how many posts there were in such a short time.

    I am not being judgemental, just wondering why you join a site on the 4th December and your friend makes the first post on the 5th December, was your first post about the strange situation of the adjoining property to your detached house or was that your friend too?

    If i wanted to be judgemental believe me I could make comments that would really ask questions but i won't.

    As for not making any difference to your situation, you have got that right.

    Thank you, I have already spoken to them about it, I would need to pay it back in order to get a new car ordered within six months - therefor you can't spend it if I intend to order oa car within 6 months (if you get PIP sorted).

    Also, the length of time between DLA stopping and Motability being notified means I have quite a considerable length of time to cover in arrears up until the point I hand the car back which would be payable if I ordered a new car (confirmed the case by Motability) so I would need to give all of the backdate until I handed car back to Motability, plus extra for the mobility component currently paid to me through PIP

    Your snooping just goes to show you how wrong you can be, you clearly didn't read all the posts or you would have read me correcting my martial status and the fact I am not pregnant and explaining those posts were not by me.

    I don't need to explain myself at all to you, I have a perfectly valid reason for setting the account up on my email and not hers and I have no intention in divulging that information purely because you are being nosey and quite frankly paranoid. Now please stop spamming my thread with your accusations, this is a thread intended to get advice, not abuse.
  • In your position and in view of your health issues it would perhaps be wise to consider moving nearer to civilisation. You rent the property so won't have the stress of selling.

    I won't comment on the issue of your previous posts in any detail, except to say it is odd and you can't blame other posters for wondering what exactly is the true state of affairs.

    Thank you, I intend to move as soon as we can get out of our tenancy and I can find another wheelchair accessible property to move into.

    I don't understand why any posters would be snooping on old posts, except to try and find fault in my post today, how is that helpful in anyway? Why would I waste my time lying about my situation for advice, when it wouldn't be relevant advice then? I am disabled, not stupid.

    This forum is for advice, not judgements and I am not here to be poked at with all of your gripes regarding the benefits system. As you can read from my post today, I am on the very edge of coping and I needed advice, not judgements. I also post on many other forums for advice for friends and family and guess what - ALL ON ONE ACCOUNT - but never have I attracted so many judgemental and horrible people who suddenly think I am three people at once.

    Some people should really think about the effect their bitter and horrible words have on people.

    ****THANK YOU to all of you who have really given me good kind advice and caring words, I have had one horrible day and those words have really helped, even if I have had to deal with more judgements as a result, it was worth it to get your advice xxx*****

    Thank You, I am not married and by the way things are going, don't think our relationship will last much longer under this strain. He is already expected to support me and my children financially off his wage and now expected to become my carer and give up work to do so. It might be actually more beneficial for everyone involved if we do split up.

    That's a perfectly reasonable expectation as far as you are concerned and you presumably receive child related benefits for your children and (hopefully) maintenance for them from their father.
  • Your local council offices or your main county council offices will have a section for school transport
    I think but not sure you may have to live 2 to 3 miles from the school to qualify for school transport of either a taxi to collect from your house or a school bus coach. Don't let the authorities count the "as the crow flies miles" but the real miles round by road to their school. If the school bus comes along your road it may be able to stop at your house due to your disabilities but again I'm not sure. But the taxi will stop at your house.you won't have to pay until your children are 15 years but rules may have changed over recent years due to cuts. Worth looking into. It's educational transport

    So sorry you are not only getting PIP grief, but grief on here as well. Many on here have too much time on their hands and enjoy reading old posts to try and "catch you out" ..... Sometimes I post stuff on here just to wind them up, because their posts are never helpful to others ( apart from their cronies ) they are just benefit haters. For people that profess to work hard and earn their own living, they seem to spend a lot of work hours on here and seem to know all about claiming lol

    Anyway -

    I hope you can get help with your problem. Maybe try a more sympathetic board for benefit help rather than here. " Your able " seems much nicer than on here.

    Have you received a reply to the MR ? DWP never write out to doctors etc ( in my experience ) they do as little as possible and make decisions often based on flawed PIP assessments.

    If the MR doesnt go your way ( often doesnt) then you need to appeal your case to a tribunal and collect up as much medical evidence as you can and send it to the Tribunal. This medical can be sent in after you serve your appeal notice, but act promptly as sometimes its a bit of a wait.

    All the best
