PIP scoring in mobility was created by Jgaz
I’m not sure of the difference between mobility descriptor e and f
Planning and following journeys
e. Cannot undertake any journey because it would cause overwhelming psychological distress to the claimant.
10
f. Cannot follow the route of a familiar journey without another person, an assistance dog or an orientation aid.
12
Can you tell me?

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

The Going Out activity looks at three things.
Planning a route - this is primarily a cognitive or sensory (e.g. blindness) activity. You are being asked about the problems you would have with working out how to get from one place to another, you do not need to be able to follow the route that you are planning.
Undertaking a Journey - this is to do with mental health issues such as agoraphobia and social anxiety and is concerned with you leaving the house to go somewhere, they will be interested in the things that stop you doing this. You need to show that you would suffer "overwhelming psychological distress" to meet the criteria.
Following a route - This activity about the problems you would have navigating a route. So are there problems; cognitive, sensory or mental health issues that would prevent you from doing this? This is different from undertaking a journey, in fact, if you cannot undertake a journey then you will not score points for following one and vice versa.
