Agoraphobia - Planning and Following Journeys

Hi. The person I care for is considering applying for PIP. He is currently in the support group of ESA. He has suffered from Agoraphobia and severe chronic anxiety since childhood. He very rarely goes out due to the anxiety it causes, but when he does he always needs me to go with him.

I am confused as to whether under 13 Planning and Following Journeys he would meet descriptor e) or f). Your guide says if you meet e) you cannot get f). He only ever goes out if a trusted person (me his carer) is with him, but he very rarely goes out at all due to the anxiety it causes him so I'm not sure which it would come under or how best to word it. As well as going to vital appointments he does sometimes go for a quiet walk in the countryside with me. On the days he feels able to go out, accompanied, he is not suffering overwhelming distress, but these days are rare.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi
I was awarded both mobility and overwhelming psychological distress due to agoraphobia.
I did submit a report from a counsellor and my GP confirming I am diagnosed with agoraphobia and the severe impact it has on my daily life.
I know you currently don't need to submit evidence but the assessor did grill me about it quite a bit and she referred to the evidence I supplied.
