This is disgraceful and what is worse is when when the transfer from DLA to PIP is undertaken and the DWP refuse PIP or the higher Mobility component, then it is reversed on appeal, as the Motability vehicle will have already been lost.
A further application for a Motability vehicle will then need to be made, this is not only costly, but during that period to when a vehicle is obtained the claimant will have lost their independence.
The vehicle should only be taken back when an appeal process is not started, while ideally the whole PIP reassessments needs urgent review.
