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

Hi Zoe
You need to make sure that you have understood, how you score on the going out section.
Going Out
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.
It will be key for you to show the 'overwhelming psychological distress and you need to break down what happens if you attempt this.

It's probably one of the hardest things to do thr form - to link mental health and the planning following journeys - sadly. And the DWP are pretty tough on their definition of overwhelming psychological distress. Go for the MR but it could be hard work ( which it shouldn't be)
