Moving around

Moving around is a mobility activity. The points you score for this activity are added to your score for the other mobility activity.

Check your likely award

Working out how many points you might get can be difficult. The Turn2us PIP Helper takes you through a questionnaire about the PIP activities and gives you an estimate of the award you might be entitled to, so you don't have to work out the points yourself.

Think about whether you can move around

When considering this activity, think about what help you need most of the time to do it:

• Safely
• Well enough (including without experiencing too much pain or exhaustion)
• Often enough
• Without taking too long

You get points for the sentence that is true for most of the time, or more than half the time. If more than one sentence is true, you will only get points for the one that is true for the most time. 

You can only score one set of points for moving around - do not add the points together.

Examples of special aid:
