The thing is is that I am not completely housebound. majortiy of the days yes but not all. So when I am out i am always with my husband who is there to keep me safe. Describtor B states that I need prompting in order to go out however i need more than being prompted as defined in PIP Guidelines. I require supervision and another person with me (my husband) to be with me when I experience flash backs which impacts on my ability to think and function like a normal person. When I experience flash backs it makes me feel like i am reliving the trauma all over again. This is when my husband is able to reorientate me and get me back home safely.
I feel this is so much more than just prompting a person but also doesnt quiet fit descriptor e as that applies to people who cannot leave their house at all??
Sorry I thought you still had a Standard award for Mobility.
If you have no problems with walking then you need to aim for (e). This Descriptor is very difficult as it uses the word "cannot" as in never, however, the task still needs to conform to the reliability requirements.
You only need to be effected in the majority of days, but DWP guidance states that if at any time of the day you are able to go out then then you are classed as able for the whole day.
