hi everyone for the planning journey of the mobility component I have suffered from clonic epileptic seizures I know a wheelchair isn’t counted but say I needed one for spinal fractures due to the anti seizure medication and no warning seizures I would probably get zero points

Hello @steveo44 😊 welcome to the Scope online community! I just want to clarify, is this about PIP or ADP?

If so, it's often a good question to ask yourself, how does having Clonic epileptic seizures change how you plan a journey compared to someone without clonic epiletpic seizures would plan the journey? It may help to have someone consider this alongside you. I know with my Crohns I needed someone there without Crohns to properly ground me as I had spent years at that point with Crohns. I had forgot what living without it was like.

For epilepsy it would be following and planning a journey. For spinal conditions, if you have difficult walking then it would be the moving around part.

thank you poppy its my first review for the moving around how about stairlifts I know stairs aren’t in the criteria

Stairlifts are not relevant because as you correctly stated, stairs are not taken into consideration for any of the descriptors.
