planning a journey was created by william1972
Hi
Was wondering on the section planning a journey, what distance does that entail (a journey you know well) I can see the church,village hall etc from my porch, so if i went out to one of those, 1) would that be deemed of planing and2) following as i can physically see these place from my home. Or does the DWP consider a known journey as say over 1 mile? and by some form of transport. In theory for my to go to church I could literally travel in a straight line.
cheers

Hi William1972
I have included clarification on all three parts of The Going Out activity:
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.
The length of the route does not matter, nor the type of transport you might use to undertake it, because it is about the 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.
