I have been awarded 4 points for PIP going out , having spoken to an assessor this was because they saw no evidence of cognitive or intellectual impairment. If I am able to demonstrate this with a psychologists report, showing that my OCD impairs my cognition in unfamiliar situations would this mean I might lose my driving licence. I am trying to prove I am eligible for the points awarded to " cannot plan or follow an unfamiliar journey "

Although doctors and other health professionals have a duty to report drivers who's driving might be significantly effected by their conditions to the DVLA this would be for safety reasons not an inability to reliably navigate from one place to another.
If you are still in doubt then speak to your GP first.
