PIP Planning and following journeys

I am representing someone tomorrow at a tribunal appeal who, despite severe mental health issues, was only awarded 4 points under 1b.
I intend to ask for points under d, e or f which would award him standard or even enhanced mobility rate.
I am aware of the alterations to the instructions issued by the DWP which state that these do not apply to mental health but will argue that this has not changed the original regulations.

Where can I get a copy of these amended instructions so that I can present them as evidence?

Hi c,

For the latest version of The PIP Assessment Guide, see : Here.

The previous version (May 2014) can be seen : Here.

I wish you better luck than we had at out tribunal for the same reason. I think we put forward a very valid argument but the panel disagreed and I think were particularly swayed by the doctor's opinion.He seemed to think that support and needing someone there at all times equated to prompting! Good luck!

Hi c,

Here is a recent rightsnet thread on this :
