Hi what did they offer you?
I know you have a motability car but is it the end of the world if you loose it? Could your family not get together and find you a nice little run around you obviously dont need a big car just one to get to post office and back for your little job. You can pick up some nice little Kas, or fiestas for reasonable money, and the tax cost is very low £20 a year. There are a ton of them out there.
what did you get offered, i thought you had standard mobility.
If you do you can get 50percent off your car tax. You would have just over 90.00 a month in your pocket where as you were using the enhanced to pay for your car. so you can still afford the running costs.
Now then this is temporary as you know you can claim again if things change and believe me it will in 3 years.
Why get sick and fed up over a car?
You write in such a way I would be worried you shouldn’t be driving. I stopped because my cognitive issues got worse and i developed TEA (transient epileptic amnesia), and the day i felt scared on the road driving was the day i stopped, so you have to balance all this out. Is it worth going through all the upset. It sounds like you have a pretty good support network with your family. Having mild dementia diagnosed for example (low cognitive function) it is a legal requirement to inform DVLA and be agreed by a doctor they are able to drive. I worry you are talking yourself out of a car licence.
You lost by a few points in a way that’s good if you think about it because you are still perceived as being in a better place. I wish i could still drive but i know it is too dangerous for me and others.
Hold on to all your faculties and mobility for as long as you can hun.
things have a way of sorting themselves out. You have a lovely family, a little job you do; can still drive that for me is HUGE. Its what you have that is important and I am sure you can sort it out to a satisfactory conclusion without causing yourself huge stress.
I had a primera automatic i bought myself it cost me 5,000 i had it 8 years (before I got sick) and it never let me down i loved that car and I never once thought when i got sick i would loose it because i couldn’t drive safe anymore. I lost my job and my independence, i would do anything to have just a little of that back.
Dont be in a rush to prove your more disabled for 37.00. You know you are, you know how you feel, but hold on to it for as long as you can so you can still enjoy some life. xxxxxx
I hope i havent been too forward in my answer and would not wish to upset you in anyway, I am trying to show you that yes its hard, yes its unfair, but you can find a way around this for now without causing yourself more worry and upset its a temporary fix because you and i both know things will change then you can try again. HUGS. xxxxxxxx
just knowing that you are able to keep your car through an appeal makes you feel better.
