    Answer: Planning and following journeys

    PIP Mobility assesses two activities: 'Planning and following journeys' and 'Moving around'.

    Answer: Needs assistance to be able to dress or undress lower body only

    The descriptor 'needs assistance to dress or undress their lower body' specifically covers this scenario and scores 2 points.

  3. How far must someone be unable to walk (stand and then move) to qualify for the enhanced Mobility component on physical grounds?

    Being unable to stand and then move more than 1 metre scores 12 points, qualifying for the enhanced Mobility rate.

    PIP replaced DLA for people aged 16 to State Pension age, with migration beginning in 2013.

  5. A claimant who can manage a simple medication regime unaided but needs supervision for a complex one scores how many points under 'Managing therapy or monitoring a health condition'?

    Answer: 0 points

    Managing a simple medication regime unaided scores 0 points; higher scores require assistance or supervision with more complex needs.

    Answer: Non-means-tested and non-contributory

    PIP is neither means-tested nor based on National Insurance contributions; it is paid regardless of income, savings, or employment status.

    Answer: Recovering sufficiently so that they can reliably walk more than 50 metres
