Driving and Pip application

It is going to make it difficult for you to score.

Although the "majority of days" applies to all of the PIP activities, the differences between you being unable to go out and your doing so, or your being able to follow a route and not being able to are quite significant and I think it unlikely that those assessing you will believe that you have the required level of disability to meet the criteria.

However, you have nothing to lose by making your arguments, just make sure that you understand and address the criteria, also, undertaking a route is considered to be mutually exclusive from following a route, in other words, you can only argue that you meet one, not both.

Are you using our PIP Claim guide?

Ignoring your ability to plan a route, the Going Out activity looks at two other things;

- Your ability to leave your house and undertake a journey, or
- You can leave your house but would be unable to get to a destination because you are unable to follow a route.
