Commuting adds to cost: yes I understand there would be some increase in fares (a return train journey from HatPev to Chelmsford = £5) but how does that work compare to a taxi's back and forth every day? If you used a mobility scooter, you can -I'm pretty certain- take one on Greater Anglia (service provider for the line) trains, and then use to travel to work from train.

As for salability of your place, well, it is a difficult climate I know.

Like I said though, the ATOS tests simply test for what you actually DO - even if you only do it sometimes, and even if it hurts when you sometimes do it. It really is that black and white. Increasingly few people are eligible for DLA now. Vast majority of claims are rejected.

Best thing to do is to take it to appeal, and get an advocate to help you do so - go to CAB for advice and assistance on that one. But don't hold your breath :-/
