I thought that the minimum number of points per category was 2 but like you I was awarded only 1 for toilet aids - making my total 11, missing out on enhanced needs by 1!
I think it's always worth appealing but a benefits advisor could advise you better.
I'm going to ask a benefits advisor if it was incorrect for DWP to only award me 1 point and, if so, this will form part of my appeal.
