PIP Public transport issues

Hi everyone

I've been a member for a while but this is my first post.

I recently had my PIP assessment call and have a copy of the report. I haven't had the PIP letter yet but it looks like I didn't score any points in Planning and Following Journeys and I'm looking for some advice on what's realistic.

I can and do drive a (automatic) car but find following unfamiliar journeys difficult. I often get lost, miss turn offs, and get very very stressed as a result.

However, the biggest problem is using public transport. I have ADHD and an auditory processing disorder.

One of the ways it manifests itself is that I'm extremely sensitive to sound and other people's behaviour. I get irrationally (I'm told) angry by sharp sounds and noise caused by others, such as eating, phone and tablet noise. It consumes everything from that point onwards and it takes every ounce of self control to not make a scene. I get extremely anxious before travel about a seat being available (I have chronic fatigue). I use noise cancelling headphones but sometimes I forget them, or need to listen for announcements.

I'm also very disorganised and forget or lose things. My husband sorts all of this out for me, makes sure we get to the airport, train station or bus stop on time, keeps hold of tickets until the time I need them and basically makes sure we get from A to B. Without him, I'd miss journeys and not get there, or be constantly anxious about where my ticket is etc. So I CAN travel on my own but the anxiety is even higher.

Does anyone know if this means I should score points? Is it worth appealing the lack of awarded points?

Many thanks in advance
