Hi i was awarded standard mobility at tribunal and is probably too late to go to upper tribunal to appeal this decision 
i don’t go outside at all and is absolutely not possible for me to go outside on my own or even with the support of other person 
i didn’t leave this room where i currently live for one year now

    As you're unable to leave your home at all then standard mobility is the correct award for you. It sounds like you scored points for activity 1E which is "cannot undertake any journey due to overwhelming psychological distress." Is that correct?

    Those that satisfy 1E can't also satisfy 1F if they can't undertake a single journey on the majority of days due to overwhelming psychological distress.

    To answer your question about appealing a Tribunal decision. You can't just appeal a Tribunal decision because you disagree with it. You can only appeal if the Tribunal made an error in law. To find that error you must request the Statement of Reasons and Record of Proceedings within 1 month of the date of the decision. Once you receive those you need to find someone to take a look to see if they can find the error in law.
