I am going for my 12 month checkup for my second this week to see the joint nurse and will ask if she can do a letter for me fingers crossed. My sister has just been turned down for the Mobility part of PIP.The reason they said was she could plan a journey I am a bit confused and worried about this . How can planing a journey mean you can make that journey .Anyone else come accross this ? that can clarify please .

Your sister will not have been turned down for the Mobility component just because they believe that she can plan a journey, they will also have looked at whether she could follow it and her ability to stand and walk.
