Well I think you have to appeal... how far did you say that you could walk . Did they assess your walking at all x I think this is happening to lots of people sadly

between 20 and 50 meters, which scores me 10 points, I have a brain so can work out routes, will appeal stressing the fatigue element.

That's absolutely ridiculous...... I have completed one recently waiting to hear .I put 50 to 200 I think from memory and its a real struggle. You really have to appeal and hopefully you will get it....it just all adds stress to you x they will probably tel me I am completely fine ....despite frequently falling and dislocating my shoulder a few weeks ago !!!!!!!!! Chin up !!!

I'm afraid the limit for getting 12 points is 'up to 20 metres' benefitsandwork.co.uk/pip/i... check through the points scoring for each area, it's tough. Have a look also at youreable.com/ they have a lot of discussion on PIP and the problems it is causing people.

Remember, it's your 'worst day' scenario they need telling about, not how well you can manage sometimes.

Hope this helps
