PiP Help

For Descriptor- Cannot undertake any journey because it would cause overwhelming psychological distress to the claimant. If that is the case for 99% of the time but sometimes I have no option but to attend hospital appointments maybe two or three per year with another person that makes me feel safe helps me with where to go etc or a shop very close by once a month with my child with me because of severe anxiety agoraphobia fatigue would that be the best option for my PIP form? Thankyou.

Yes. It's a misleading descriptor. It actually means that for more than 50% of the time, you can't go out. So someone in your situation easily fits into that descriptor.

Thankyou for your reply. I get extremely worried and confused by it because I would be scared to go to my hospital appointments even more thinking how I might have put the wrong thing down on my form. Even going to occasional appointments is such a draining ordeal.
