Hey @bowie59 and welcome to the community.

Please try not to worry too much, mistakes happen. Can you leave a note on your UC journal explaining the error?

I really wouldn't worry, just because you don't actually have a seat it doesn't mean you don't need one. The descriptors for both LCW and LCWRA do not includes shower aids anyway.

If it was related to PIP, points can be scored for aids, even if you don't actually have an aid.
