Hello Diceman24,
The first activity in the PIP mobility section is 'planning and following a journey' if you 'Cannot follow the route of a familiar journey without another person, an assistance dog or an orientation aid.' you get 12 points which entitles you to enhanced mobility. As I am sure you are aware to be judged to be able to do something reliably you have to be able to do it more than 50% of the time. Your post suggests that you can only this 30% of the time.
The second activity in the PIP mobility section is moving around, and that it simply dependent upon how far you can reliably walk, even if that is within the house.
Hope this helps,
Catherine
