Hi I was just wondering how do I understand the daily living component and the mobility component. Would you get mobility if you don't drive or is it something for drivers? Can you get both mobility and daily living together? Haven't been told much about it and not sure I will even be awarded anyway id just like to understand it thanks

You're ability to drive isn't considered in any of the descriptors. Daily living is for activities such as preparing food, washing/bathing, toilet, budgeting, engaging with others face to face etc etc.Mobility there's 2 parts, following and planning a journey which is for those with mental health and cognitive and sensory impairments. Moving around is for those with physical conditions.You can be awarded either part or both parts. Have a read of this it may give you a little more understanding of what the descriptors mean. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/personal-independence-payment-assessment-guide-for-assessment-providers/pip-assessment-guide-part-2-the-assessment-criteria
