So that's ENHANCED on both parts, backdated to when her DLA was stopped.

But then I read it vey carefully, and they have awarded her extra points for being unable to make journeys to FAMILIAR places, but we only said that she had great difficulties with UNFAMILIAR journeys.

I feel I should let them know this, as it's either a typo or excessive points have been awarded.
Depends on the situation. Eg If the condition is such that somebody can become agitated when out and about anywhere, then they might qualify. The differentiation between familiar and unfamiliar is related to navigating to those places.
