You need to score 8 points for the Standard rate and 12 for the Enhanced one, our experience is that claimants tend to over score themselves when looking at the criteria so it would be worth going through them again with a very critical eye.

score 4 points total for all the other categories?
Or if I scored 12 for washing and bathing, I wouldnt need to score
anything elsewhere?

Yes, that's right. For enhanced care it is 12 points across all the care descriptors.

You need to score a total of 8-11 or 12 or more points across questions 1 to 10 for the Care component and 8-11 or 12 points or more across questions 11-12 for the a Mobility award.
You can only score once for each question.
