What Does 'Plan & Follow A Journey' mean?

I have seen this 'Plan And Follow A Journey' in the mobility questions.Does this assume that you are in a vehicle, mobility scooter or on foot? Does it mean in a familiar area? All very vague? Any idea anyone?

Hi and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

The 'planning and following a journey' is for people with sensory and/or cognitive difficulties. It doesn't really matter how you travel, it is about being able to make and/or follow a logical plan.

The PIP guide gives sample answers which might help clarify things for you

May I suggest that you bookmark/favourite this on your web browser now so that you can find it easily in future? This will allow you to return with further questions or comments about your PIP claim without having to start a new topic each time. It helps us enormously when everything relating to the same claim is kept in one place - and I hope you will find it useful too

Thanks for your responses Mrs Hurtyback and Gordon.

My spine is fused and twisted. My head is 90 degrees to my torso and it permanently points to the floor and I can't see left or right. When I am a passenger I have no idea where we are, apart from watching the sat nav.

Do you think this qualifies as someone who cannot plan and carry out a journey.

Responses appreciated

Thanks

Neil

OK Gordon - Understood - But as I understand it there are only 2 questions that provide points to obtain 12 points for 'Enhanced Mobility''

If 'Planning and carrying out a journey is only for 'non physical' ability then the only other question as far as I can see is 'How Far Can You Walk or how long can you stand?'

Where does it give points for physically not being able to leave the house and go somewhere else? I can probably get myself to a bus stop or call a taxi but my physical condition would not allow me to use public transport or use a taxi. I have to rely on my wife to get me 'out and and about'.

How can you be legally sure that 'Planning And Carrying Out A Journey' does not consider anything to do with the physical ability? Maybe its possible that the PIP guide is wrong on this matter?
