when i recently went through the process, i was given 8 points ( standard ) for daily living and only 4 points for moving around ( Can stand and then move more than 50 metres but no more than 200 metres, either aided or unaided. 4 points ). I went through the mandatory reconsideration and was given an extra point for daily living but that didn’t make any difference to the standard award but thankfully the Decision Maker saw sense and increased my mobility component to 12 points ( Can stand and then move more than 1 metre but no more than 20 metres, either aided or unaided. 12 points )
Anyway, very best of luck with your application. Just try to make sure your answers fit to the descriptors, they can be very picky over wording. When the form comes, you can ask for a 2 week extension on the return date if you need it.
