Hi folks,
*This is my first post, please be gentle! :-)
I have recently applied for PIP, but my application has been rejected and I am now off to tribunal.
One of the main reasons the DWP have rejected my application is because I drive. Amongst other issues, I really struggle with multi-tasking, e.g. cooking and doing university work at the same time. The DWP are essentially arguing that because I can drive a car, and this requires multi-tasking such as having to brake, change gear, be aware of other road users etc. all at the same time, the difficulties I face in other areas of my life cannot possibly be as bad as I have described.
Just wondering if anyone else has come up against similar lines of argument from the DWP before, or what the best way of countering this argument might be?
Many thanks,
Joe
