Driving me crazy

I have now stopped driving because my right knee is now as bad as the left and I am not confident that I could stop in an emergency and so now my wife drives, I am the type of person that enjoys to drive and so we looked into hand controls and its better if we use my mobility component of DLA to get a motability vehicle with controls.
I have a DLA award that is indefinate (nice word but not true) and so it shouldnt be a problem but I am so worried about this disability reform and the changes that Cameron is making that my concern is losing my award if they use an ATOS style medical with this new PiP, I am worthy of the high rate but we all know what happens.

Hi Zech
good to see you
Sneaky wording that 'indefinite' isn't it :roll: . replaced the old lifetime award, but left it open so they can review us anytime they want to :roll:
It woudl be a real shame to stop doing something which is so important to you as driving is so l think you really should look into properly adapted vehicle.
Love
