  1. Which two activities make up the PIP Mobility Component assessment?

    Answer: Moving around and planning and following journeys

    The Mobility Component is assessed across two activities: Moving Around and Planning and Following Journeys.

  2. A claimant can move more than 200 metres with or without an aid. What score do they receive for the Moving Around activity?

    Answer: 0 points

    Being able to move more than 200 metres, aided or unaided, meets the highest functioning descriptor and scores 0 points.

  3. Under 'Planning and Following Journeys,' a claimant cannot follow an unfamiliar route without another person, assistance dog, or orientation aid. How many points is this worth?

    Answer: 4 points

    Needing assistance for unfamiliar journeys specifically scores 4 points under the Planning and Following Journeys descriptors.

  4. What is the minimum distance a claimant must be unable to exceed, aided or unaided, to score 12 points under Moving Around?

    Answer: 1 metre

    Scoring 12 points on Moving Around requires that the claimant cannot stand and move more than 1 metre either aided or unaided.

  5. Which descriptor under 'Planning and Following Journeys' scores 8 points?

    Answer: Cannot plan the route of any journey

    Being unable to plan the route of any journey — regardless of familiarity — scores 8 points.

  6. What does 'aided' mean in the context of the Moving Around activity?

    Answer: Using an aid or appliance such as a walking stick or prosthetic limb

    In the Moving Around activity, 'aided' refers to the use of an aid or appliance such as a walking stick, crutches, or a prosthetic limb.

  7. A claimant scores 4 points on Planning and Following Journeys and 4 points on Moving Around. What is their total Mobility Component score?

    Answer: 4 points — only the highest descriptor applies

    For PIP, only the highest-scoring descriptor within each activity is counted, so the overall Mobility score uses the single highest descriptor across both activities, not a sum.
