Your ability to carry out mobility activities is assessed by focusing on tasks under two activity headings:

Scoring – Under each activity heading is a list of descriptors with scores ranging from 0 to 12 points. The descriptors explain related tasks of varying degrees of difficulty. You score points for the descriptor that best describes the level at which you can complete the task safely, to an acceptable standard, repeatedly and in a reasonable time period (see 9 above ). If more than one descriptor applies to you under an activity heading, you only include the score from the one with the highest points.

To be entitled to the standard rate of the mobility component, you need to score at least 8 points; to be entitled to the enhanced rate, you need to score at least 12 points. These points can be scored from just one activity heading or from both headings added together.
