Hi,
I have recently been diagnosed with Autism with an overall ADSO score of 18 (Autism threshold is 7).
I now want to apply for PIP, but I am a bit confused about the PIP Mobility Questions. I welcome comments from anyone who knows about this.
This is how the questions are set out:
Do you know if you're able to select more than one answer on the questions?
1C 1D and 1F to me sounds like you are unable to know where to go. From your description, it seems like you can do that but when you get into a meltdown then you need assistance to make sure you aren't hurt. Would that be 1E? Although it does not include needing assistance.
And for the second question, I would just ask yourself how far you can walk without needing assistance, and then answer that to the best fitting option.
I have no knowledge on this assessment by the way, Im just giving my best guess based on what you've said.
