Orthotic Lifts as an AID in the dressing descriptor

Dear Advisors,

I have been prescribed with Orthotic lifts by my local hospital, really because of the Halux Ridgiditus in my toe, which is very painful. I have been told that the DWP should consider this an aid and award me two points under dressing and undressing.

Do you think this is correct?

I do not believe this is correct.

This activity is about your ability to dress and undress and the aids that you might need to help you do this, I do not see how the lifts aid you with this, were we talking about the Moving Around activity then they could be considered as an aid.
