Correct interpretation of 12 d ‘Cannot follow the route of an unfamiliar journey without another person…’ - ANSWERS PLEASE!
Having read your post it’s unclear as to the problems following a route are?
I presume you’re saying planning the route is not a problem but physical assistance is required?
What is or how long is the route/journey to be followed/planned eg from home address and 50 yards to Tescos or what about Plymouth to Carlisle!
Re can stand and then move etc I would have thought anyone with a severe disability affecting their walking would be unable to stand ‘upright’ to a reasonable manner (as the descriptor requires) eg if you need to use crutches then you would place your weight under your shoulders thus not being able to stand upright.
If you do lodge an appeal relying on the Agnew judgement, be aware that according to the posts at the end of this thread, there is apparently an upcoming case CPIP/313/2015 that should resolve the conflict between the Agnew and Jacobs decisions.

Many thanks Jon.
