Hi @listening,
Welcome to the community!
I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that the recent changes are about stopping claimants with psychological problems who can not travel without help getting the same as those who are blind.
In particular, it's the ‘Planning And Following Journeys’ question that will change: https://samedifference1.com/2017/02/24/new-pip-descriptors-for-planning-and-following-journeys-from-16-march-will-exclude-mh-claimants/
If your issues with travelling are caused by psychological distress - you may get fewer points (and therefore might lose the mobility component if you don't have enough in total).
The changes will apply when people are reassessed or new claimants from 16th March.
