Try not to get too bogged down with dealing with the issues raised by the assessor or the Decision Maker, showing that their assumptions are incorrect will help but won't get you an award.
You need to sit down with your PIP2, the assessment report and the PIP Claim guide and make sure that you have given the most detailed and complete answer that you can to showing why you should score points for each activity that is relevant. Make sure that you understand the criteria for that activity, if not ask and be aware that most have multiple elements all of which must be met for you to score the points.

Quick question re: Managing therapy or monitoring a health condition (for mental health)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves doing "homework" in between therapy sessions. I considered my ability to do this homework, home-therapy - am I completely wrong in thinking this? I scored no points, is this because the following doesn't count as managing therapy?
Cognitive Therapy homework includes things like keeping thought records, keeping positive data longs/diaries,
Behavioural Therapy includes: breathing exercises, meditation, physical exercise, and the forcing myself into social situations in a systematic way.
thanks

Unless you need some sort of assistance to carry out the CBT you won't score points, see the PIP Claim guide for more details.

This is what I thought but was thrown off by scoring no points.
I need assistance from a CBT therapist, does this count?
I will go through the pdf again.

I'm afraid not, you would need the assistance to be required when carrying your CBT in your home.

I read that it counts if you need the assistance even if you don't get it.
I know I need assistance to carry out the CBT therapies (otherwise I won't do them) but don't have anyone at home to assist/support me - any progress would be made/faster.
Its funny because the main crux of my behavioural therapy involves leaving my home, this is what I need most assistance with (which I don't have) but it seems that as soon as I leave my home it no longer counts as therapy.
From home, all I have is an online support chat room to go to for moral support but since CBT therapy ended I have struggled to do the things (therapy tasks) I need to do.
