Hi, I have great pain with osteoarthritis in my knees, hips and spine and walk with a crutch all the time. However, PIP are saying I can stand and walk more than 200 metres aided or unaided which I can't without extreme pain and gave me 0 points for moving around.

Hi Allyrose I had the same issue with PIP saying I can walk more than 200m despite me being in excruciating pain with my knee so I know how you feel
