a take a range of medication including mirtazapine - within an hour of taking it early evening i have to go to bed - i sleep from 6.00 pm to 7.00 am. During this period it wouldn't be safe for me to go on any journeys To what extent - if at all, could this be used in the mobility component of pip. Best wishes - Jim
The members guides give lots if helpful information about all of the PIP activities including mobility. Please have look at these if you have not already done so www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/pip
To gain points under any PIP activity, you will need to show that you have difficulties for the majority of the time. You also need to consider whether you can do the activity reliably, which means safely, to an acceptable standard, within a reasonable time and repeatedly.
In respect of mobility, it is important to also take account of manner of walking, falls/stumbles, fatigue and 'severe discomfort' which includes breathlessness, pain, and anything else similar that could affect walking.
