New PIP self-test

it looks like motability will cease to exist and I like many others would lose my only way to get out and my only way to get to work. Therefore the saving of £49 per week which keeps me in full time employment would actually cost them a lot more as I would be unable to work as I can not travel on bus and they would lose all the tax and NI that I pay, mostly about £1200 per month. I could not afford to buy my motability car and make the changes necessary to a different one.
how would that be saving money. The I in PIP means independence doesnt it

As I understand it bathing includes showering, but if a claimant did not have access to a stand alone shower, as opposed to one in their bath and therefore could not use it, this would be relevant.According to the self test I would get enhanced rate for both however im a little confused with 2 of the questions,Q3 regarding medication and managing therapy, I understand needing assistance with taking medicine (scored one point)but what do they mean by therapy? as managing therapy receives the highest score.Also Q4 bathing and grooming,when they say bathing does that also mean showering as I can no longer use a bath? I realise it may be just me not understanding the questions correctly but if/when it comes the time to fill in a pips form for real I want to get the answers right.
Therapy would include things like exercise, stretching and lifting, mental exercises, etc.
