How does PIP define night time in relation to journeys? I’m collecting information for review and I’m wondering what their definition is. Is it 10pm, 11pm?

    There is no reference, as best I can recall, to day and night time. What is behind your question? Insofar as one might to distinguish between day and night I would have though the level of light is most likely to be relevant.

    For mobility. They class doing not being able to do a journey at night as doing it to an acceptable standard. Particularly for 1E. So I’m wondering what “night” is by definition.

    I can see the reference in the PIP assessment guide - I had overlooked that. There is no definition included. I stand by my previous comment, I think it could be interpreted to mean after dark (but just my opinion).

      If we are talking about mobility, journeys, descriptor B or E,

    Bluefox currently scored points for 1E cannot undertake any journey.

    And if we’re talking pronouns, I’m he/him. Sorry for the confusion and yes I’m looking to the future to consider what “night time” actually is.

    We have also discussed this at length in your other threads.

    apologies, sorry you got offended and rightfully so. Can a moderator delete my comment where I pronounced BlueFox as she. I cant do that myself, it seems it got set in stone and we dont want that.

    Best of luck with your application Mr Fox :)
    I wasn’t offended. Just wanted to let you know I’m a guy :)

    Is that comment for me?, as you did not tag anyone. If so, can you explain what did you mean?
    No, i wasn't referring to you. It was bluefox i was talking about.
