So you can't help me?
I know there is a paper form and an online form it is the online form I am trying to fill in and it says this for the 'moving around' section
"How far can you walk using any aids or appliances you need?
To give you an idea of distance, 50 metres is about 5 buses parked end to end.
Walking aids and appliances include walking sticks, walking frames, crutches and artificial limbs.
A wheelchair or mobility scooter does not count as an aid or appliance for this question. If you use a wheelchair or mobility scooter, please answer this question by telling us how well you can stand and move without using it.
I cannot stand and move even using my aids or appliances
Less than 20 metres
Between 20 and up to 50 metres
Between 50 and up to 200 metres
More than 200 metres
It varies"
So that, as far as I can see is quite different to what is in both the new online PIP form guide and the old form guide. This means that your information is out of date here which is disappointing as I subscribe to get help with this kind of thing.
You are just saying you don't know but surely someone here knows as that is what this place is for isn't it? You need to be aware of this wording, this is what it is saying on the PIP online form.
So you are just leaving it that you don't know? I can't be the only person in the world with the new online PIP form

It's gotten confused because I posted 2 identical threads and one was already answered which wasn't this one...so I have replied to the wrong one here.
It's confusing posts don't show straight away and have to be seen by moderators

Your original post appears to tally with question 14b described at the bottom of page 90 of the current PIP Claim guide (new and online form).
