Hello,
I already posted the following question, but have not got a reply, yet. I asked a similar question last year, but gather some PIP regulations have changed.
I'm trying to understand PIP properly to get ready to fill in an application form, so would be grateful for any advice - as it's an important issue for me.
I gather there have been some changes in PIP rules lately, so could do with some updated clarity on Prompting.

PIP Descriptor
Going Out
b. Needs prompting to be able to undertake any journey to avoid overwhelming psychological distress to the claimant. 4 points
Can anyone please clarify what exactly is meant by Prompting for the above descriptor, "Going Out".
That is, does the person doing the prompting need to be present, or can it be acceptable to prompt the person in need by phone and/or text?
Thanks

Thanks Mike and Sue for your replies and very constructive advice.The reason I wanted to check is because any people who prompt me will do so from a distance, most likely by phone. So I do not want to get into a complications/trouble by be given the award and then being told someone actually needs to be present with me to do the prompting.

Point taken , Mike, thanks
