All they are doing is putting something explicitly in the text of the law, that was in the rules anyway. That was already there in the guidance to ATOS and the Case Managers(as they are now known for PIP). This is meant to be applied to ALL the activities, not just mobility.
Quote:
3.3.1.
Central to the application of all the activities within the PIP assessment is a consideration of the manner in which they are undertaken. If an individual cannot reliably complete an activity in the way described then they should be considered unable to complete it.

Focus on what the rules actually do say and make absolutely sure that ATOS etc and the DWP are educated in them. Don't keep spreading myths or else they will become fact, as people go on to believe that they must be true as so many people are saying it.
