The first case relates to Managing Treatment and specifically taking medication in regard to diabetes, the second is in regard to the Going Out activity and in particular Descriptors (d) and (f). In both cases these Decision have been superseded by the change in the PIP Regulations made in March.
When was the original Decision on your claim made? If it was before 16 March 2017 then the changes to the PIP Regulations do not apply and these two UTT Decisions do.

I applied on the 1 March 2017, and the new law which didn't come in until the 16th March 2017 was used against me, saying anxiety/mental health cannot be used for planning a rout etc - I argued in my Mandatory Reconsideration that they can't use something against me that wasn't in force when I applied, that is illegal in itself right?
I noticed you mentioned to the OP that if the decision was made after the legislation, but I was of the understanding it was if the application was made before the legislation came into force...???

They could have done this but they didn't, I'm afraid it is the Decision date that is important.

Not necessarily, it depends on what you are appealing and why and when the original Decision was made.
