Details

The criteria relates to the mobility competent of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Descriptor E - those awarded 10 points for Planning and following a ‘Journey’ activity of the Mobility component of PIP and cannot undertake any journey because it would cause overwhelming psychological distress to the claimant.
