    Hi @gerib welcome to this great forum.
    I'm sure you will get your answer here.
    While your waiting for the rest to greet you go on to recent discussions, you might find that interesting.
    Good luck

    Hi, welcome to the community.
    As mentioned above, there is some discussions in the PIP, DLA and AA category that may help.

    Hi @gerib - & welcome to the community from me also. There really isn't any way to fill in the form other than to describe your walking, & only you can do that. Remember it's if you can mobilise 'reliably; if you walk more slowly due to pain, for example.
    You should give a couple of recent, detailed examples as to any difficulty you have, i.e. when did this happen, what exactly happened, why, did anyone see this, & how did it leave you feeling afterwards if there was any consequence to this?
    There's some more info here about this activity: https://pipinfo.net/activities/moving-around

    Hello @gerib and welcome to the community, thanks for reaching out with your query. 

    As our members have advised the best thing to do is write down examples of times when you've tried to do each of the descriptors, what happened, and what were the consequences? 

    Citizens Advice has some guidance on how to fill out the form, and you can always give the Scope helpline a ring if you'd rather talk with someone about it over the phone. Calls are free, and it's open Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm. Saturday and Sunday, 10am to 6pm. And most bank holidays.

    Scope helpline number: 0808 800 3333. 

    I've moved both your threads on PIP into one, and popped them into our PIP category so our members can find them more easily.

    If we can help any further or you have any other questions, please do ask :) 

    Alex
