Hi phidgity

Like you I was only given 2 points for "needs prompting to be able to engage with other people.

This made no sense at all because Atos accepted from Psychologists report that I pose a risk to myself and others when I am psychologically distressed around other people and therefore denied me a home assessment.
Then when it came to assessing this activity and choosing a descriptor, they ignored that completely and decided I only needed prompting.
They also only part quoted the Psychologist report, they quoted what was said about high level anxiety and distress, then conveniently ended the quote there, even though the entire sentence went on to mention become highly agitated and aggressive.

The problems that I have with mixing with people, effects my ability with the mobility activity, because it is almost impossible to avoid other people when outdoors and navigating a journey.
I suffer from severe PTSD and when I become highly agitated and distressed, it triggers some of my PTSD episodes, which then results in the journey having to be abandoned and I need support to get home safely
