Hi. I suffer mental health and have done for a long long time.
In the planning journeys which descriptor would i fit?
On my report it says "only goes out with son when she needs to"
"Takes her 3-4 days to build up to go to local shop which is 150yrds away"

Earlier in the report it states "when she goes out she has anxietys and paranoia that people are out to kill her"


I got awarded E 10pts. But i thought E "cannot undertake any journey because it would cause overwhelming psychological distress to the claimant." was for people who DONT go out at all. Im confused????
