I have draughted the letter, just tweaking it a bit now. I have been advised to be concise but accurate, but cover all points in dispute (almost all of them).

The only part giving me a severe headache is the "how far can you walk" question. It's like answering the question "how long is a piece of string?" as there are so many variables. I tried to explain on the original form that his walking distance is impossible to quantify, and according to their rules cannot be "reliable" i.e. repeated as and when required.
