    More information is needed to advise you further. Are you claiming PIP for physical conditions or mental health, cognitive or sensory conditions? 

    Where exactly did you score the points for the mobility part?
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Did you score the points for being unable to undertake any journey on the majority of days? Fibro is a physical condition so whether it's possible to score points in the moving around part will depend on how far you can walk.

    Yes all the points for unable to plan a journey, it was a change of circumstances from pip to adp since September I filled in got my diagnosis of fibromyalgia in November I called they added but as case manager didn't call just on the information I provided I was awarded, as for the mobility moving around I get exhausted quickly can't move far on a flare, what are the chances of loosing my reward if It was lower it be OK I think it's just the two points off such ashame I know I'm lucky to even be awarded

    I'm afraid I have no idea what the stats are for ADP. We don't have many threads related to ADP.
