Thank you for this video. You're post have all been very helpful to me. I have M.E/CFS, and tho my circumstances are different from yours, you help to open my eyes to the kinds of possibilities that are out there. You're earlier videos have been great for helping me to understand and accept life with M.E/CFS, so thank you again for the efforts you are making.
I only get standard mobility at the moment. I know I should be entitled enhanced. But I'm scared of doing a change of circumstances with my pip. I really do need a mobility car or scooter. I cannot self-fund, sadly as I'm only on esa/pip. So most of the time, I'm household. When I do go outside of my home, I mostly rely on carers/my family to drive me places. Social services wasn't interested in properly helping me, either. The system sucks.
I only get standard mobility PIP, so I self fund my own car, and at the moment, have self funded a mobility scooter hire to see how I get on with it. I wish the mobility scheme could be given outside of PIP like the blue badge so its a bit more flexible.
Can you get any mobility aid through Motability? I'm looking to buy a Mountain Trike (electric powered outdoor wheelchair) but it's so expensive - 13K!!!
I wish we had this in the US!
That's brilliant , thank you for sharing Elinor ,I'm looking into a vehicle as I'm finding mobility more problematic .
Thanks Elinor, so helpful 😊
so helpful, thank you!

I definitely wish we had PIP or a lot of the better healthcare options from the UK or Europe in the US

@@silvermoonuk why are you scared? If you have additional problems that may change your award to enhanced then I’d go for it.
@@Isobel201 Probably because going through a change in circumstances can lead to a lower award 😒
So lovely ❤❤❤❤

You don’t need pip to get a blue badge
@ I wasn’t saying that, I was saying that you can get a blue badge from the council without PIP
Is this the renault capture evolution? I just ordered this one as my 1st mobility car. Cant wait to get it x
I get my powerchair through Motability. So expensive but only way can afford it.
