    Hello susankay and welcome

    To be awarded enhanced mobility you need to score 12 points

    12. Moving around.
    12 a. Can stand and then move more than 200 metres, either aided or unaided. 0 points
    12 b. Can stand and then move more than 50 metres but no more than 200 metres, either aided or unaided. 4 points
    12 c. Can stand and then move unaided more than 20 metres but no more than 50 metres. 8 points
    12 d. Can stand and then move using an aid or appliance more than 20 metres but no more than 50 metres. 10 points
    12 e. Can stand and then move more than 1 metre but no more than 20 metres, either aided or unaided. 12 points
    12 f. Cannot, either aided or unaided, �(i) stand; or (ii) move more than 1 metre. 12 points

    You are not required to walk pain free but any pain that limits your walking should be taken into consideration

    Hi, CR has given you great advice.

    Remember you must be able to do the activity, safely, repeatedly and to an acceptable standard.
