I took a slightly different approach with a view to future expansions of more than two points for the platform to move between. Using a TArray to store the locations and when the locations have been reached increment an index to that array.
Also, I used IsNearlyZero() function from the FVector API to check whether the platform had arrived at its intended location. This could easily be changed to use the FVector length comparison.

{
FVector PlatformLocation = GetActorLocation();
if ((PlatformLocation - Location).IsNearlyZero(5.0f))

return true;

else
{
FVector DirectionOffset = (Location - PlatformLocation).GetSafeNormal() * Speed * DeltaTime;
SetActorLocation(PlatformLocation + DirectionOffset);
