In the mobility part of the PIP2 form it gives I think 6 distances that you either can or cannot manage, is this the total distance that you can manage, what I mean by that is say if you put down more than 20 but no more than 50 mts could the assessor turn that into 100mts by assuming that if the person can walk 50 mts away from home they have to walk 50 mts back so the total distance is not 50 mts but 100mts

It's the distance that you can reliably walk on the majority of days, there will be no assumption on a return trip.
