PIP questionaire was created by Ken

just look for some advice My partner suffers IBS and becomes very anxious about going on journeys some I have to cancel because of this I have to plan all journeys around toilet stops She is not able to plan a journey due to the anxiety and she has no sense of direction and cannot read a map. The need for toilets is immediate and can and has resulted in accidents. My question is does this come under Q13 going out or Q14 moving around or both as IBS is a physical condition but the anxiety is a mental health problem
any advice welcome
thanks

You are going to struggle to show applicability for the Moving Around activity given the distances involved, this activity is about how far she can walk.

It may be applicable to the Going Out activity but not directly, you will need to show that she suffers "overwhelming psychological distress" due to her concerns about her incontinence and this OPD prevents her from continuing to follow a route. Anxiety is will not meet this requirement. She would need to suffer the OPD on the majority of days if required to follow a route.

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
