Yet again you are misunderstanding the whole activity and we are again going round in circles. What you've quoted there doesn't relate to a person that has physical conditions! I give up!

So citizens advice is incorrect?
Check myl link please under 13b 
And where did you get your activity numbering from? 

The questions on the form for the activities are from Q3 to Q14... these translate as activities 1 to 12.

(It's totally irrelevant to the activity, but just as an aside, more and more public transport is becoming wheelchair accessible now.  I'm not 'stuck in my wheelchair', my wheels are my freedom on the rare occasion I'm well enough to go out - without them I would most definitely be stuck at home!)

Buses round here are as rare as hens teeth and when  they do turn up they don't "kneel"! 
Plus how would I get too and from the bus stop? 
I can't even power the damned chair nyself

Same here, we have one inaccessible bus a week (plus the footpath from our house to the bus stop is not suitable for a manual wheelchair) and I can't use a manual wheelchair either.  But these are not valid points for PIP planning/following a journey, just in case anyone reading this was somehow still unsure.

[Incidentally they are things that could be considered for a WCA if the DM decided someone was fit for work, which is where PIP and ESA drastically differ in how they are assessed.  But that's off-topic so I won't discuss that further on this thread.]

I asked for (and was offered) an extension to the return date of 14 days to allow me to use the facility of citizens advice (closed over Christmas) and asked for this in writing but as yet, nothing has arrived (12 days) should I be concerned? 
The original return date was 14th January....

There's only been 4 postal days since Christmas EVE, which doesn't include today. It's not usual for post to take a couple of weeks to arrive.

Do be aware that even though you've asked for the extension, you'll still receive the reminder asking you to make sure it's returned by the original return date because it's automatically generated.

From what date will my claim be backdated ?

The date that I return my filled in PIP2 or a random date decided by DWP ?

They have my mobile number and txt me on my original application to let me know that the PIP2 was on its way but not that the date had been extended !
