I am afraid this is another phrase that PIP makes use of and ESA does not specifically use.

A lot of our members have reported difficulty in getting an award of PIP Mobility purely for mental health issues due to the DWP guidance suggesting that prompting is the same as the support that someone might need when going out, have a look at the PIP Claim guide for details.

I've moved your post so that it is with your others!!!

MRs can take anywhere from a few days to 5-6 weeks and in some extreme cases even longer.

DWP numbers may be withheld it really depends on who is ringing. You are unlikely to be called as part of the MR process.
