Going Out - Cannot Plan the route of a journey

I am puzzled by your Guide on PIP Claims. Page 52 gives the descriptors with the particular one that I am concerned about - 13c. Cannot plan the route of a journey. But when I turn to page 54, 13c suddenly becomes - being unable to go out because of anxiety or stress.

I need advice re 'Cannot plan the route of a journey'. My wife has physical disabilities for which we are lodging an appeal against the DWA decision. However the physical disabilities do not affect her ability to plan a journey. She just cannot do it. Never has been able to. I presume that a simple inability to do this would not satisfy the DWA?

You are confusing the Descriptor "13(c)" with question "13(c) on the PIP2 form :)

I'm afraid the DWP will not accept your assurance that your wife cannot plan a journey unless you can explain what condition is causing this and why it affects her ability.
