You're making it difficult for us to answer your questions by repeating them and posting in multiple topics, can I ask you to make any further posting in this topic only.
Whilst DLA considers the amount of care that a claimant needs, PIP looks at the severity and breadth of their problems. See the PIP claim guide for details if the criteria against which you are being assessed.

You need to use extra space to explain in detail how your mobility is affected -
'On my bad days I cannot walk at all. I am affected like this 2 days a week.
On my good days I can walk 25 meters, but only with a lot of pain and only once. I have 1 good day a month' etc.
The PIP guide talks you through this in detail
