Overview
- Shaun Rigby received a letter on November 28 instructing him to repay £36,000 to the Department for Work and Pensions.
- His Motability vehicle was removed and his enhanced Personal Independence Payment, reported as around £500 a month, was withdrawn following the investigation.
- A DWP spokesperson said the tribunal agreed with the department, noting PIP is awarded based on the impact on daily needs rather than a diagnosis.
- Rigby says he plays adaptive cricket with a runner and crutch support, takes prescribed pain medication, and experiences increased pain after matches.
- After losing the Motability car, his mother and sister bought him a vehicle so he could continue working full‑time as a sheet metal worker.
