<p><strong>The full public consultation on the ‘Moving around’ activity of the mobility
component closed on 5 August 2013. We received more than 1,100 responses. We carefully
considered all the responses received, including the suggestions for alternative approaches.
We published our response to the consultation on 21 October 2013.</strong></p><br
/><p><strong>We believe the assessment criteria, including the 20 metres distance,
are the best way of identifying those whose physical mobility is most limited, so
we did not make any changes. However, we have strengthened the measures around the
reliability criteria – we recognise these are a key protection for claimants.</strong></p><br
/><p><strong>Our response to the consultation is annexed to this answer.</strong></p>
