Thanks gordon, this is all so difficult and complicated when poorly. I have no idea how to explain how i would be restricted going out when endometriosis pain flares up when i cant go out alone anyway due to mental health. Can you give me any understanding of how it stoos me going out when i cant anyway. This is mental torture trying to decipher this system .

Can you REPLY to posts rather than starting a new topic each time.
The Going Out activity looks at three things.
Planning a route - this is primarily a cognitive or sensory (e.g. blindness) activity. You are being asked about the problems you would have with working out how to get from one place to another, you do not need to be able to follow the route that you are planning..
Undertaking a Journey - this is do with mental health issues such as agoraphobia and social anxiety and is concerned with you leaving the house to go somewhere, they will be interested in the things that stop you doing this. You need to show that you would suffer "overwhelming psychological distress" to meet the criteria.
Following a route - the DWP regard this as a cognitive or sensory activity to do with navigating the route, SO are there problems that would prevent you from doing this? This is different from undertaking a journey, in fact if you cannot undertake a journey then you will struggle to score points for following one. The reasons that you are unable to follow or navigate the route must not be due to psychological distress.
So you are unlikely to score points for a restriction that is due to physical pain.
