I've had a decision back but don't feel like this particular section is fair.

Without getting too deep I suffer from multiple MH issues Inc agoraphobia and OCD and do not leave the house alone, ever. My ability to go anywhere is solely dependent on someone being able to take me. Even to the corner shop

I believe that I should have gotten 'F' Cannot follow the route of a familiar journey without another person'
But have been awarded E.

I am considering a mandatory reconsideration to try and get descriptor F as that would get me high mobility.

The assessor literally says twice in the recommendations that I don't leave the house alone.

Any familiar journey I take, picking up poorly kids from school, going to a Dr's Appointment or the bank is navigated with another adult who drives me there.

Can anyone explain what the 'Reported restrictions not supported' part means and how I can word the Mandatory reconsideration in saying I think I should get 'F' as if I don't have anyone to come with me I don't go anywhere.

Can anyone help me with this part of my PIP form please?

To score F you would need to demonstrate you go out the majority of days and experience symptoms that meet the threshold for overwhelming distress. That you go out everyday due to having support from someone else. This is not very common as these symptoms usually stop people going out the majority of days. F is more commonly awarded for cognitive or safety issues.
