    I think you just need to tell it as it is. The walkable distance and time taken are how you are actually affected not what shall I put to get the highest award. Sorry in advance if this is not your intention but that is how your post reads to me.

    You have to write down what you're like on your worst days. For some odd reason, I didn't actually do this and struggled to get it. (why I didn't do this, I don't know)
  • Sorry to hijack, but is it fairly straightforward to fill in this form when mental health is the issue?
