Yes @Justice is correct but from my experience it has to be a long term mental health condition preferably that you have had properly diagnosed and had treatment for with specialist mental health medical practitioners. My assessor said "Although she is diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression she doesn't have medication and has no specialist input". This was her reasoning for no mobility score for planning a journey. However both parts of the statement were false and were overturned at MR stage but only to 4 points for needing prompting to go anywhere. Of course every case is different but the stronger your evidence the better. They do not accept people with no evidence who just say they get anxious when they go out.0
