Thanks for your reply, i explained he does not go to social occasions, due to his severe anxiety, gave a few reasons why he gets anxious he has a diagnosis of depression and agoraphobia. I never used the word cannot so does that mean he is less likely to get points for that activity now.

Not necessarily, what Descriptor were you trying to meet?

i thought the last one, its very unpredictable how he will react, when he starts panicking, which is why he does not go to social occasions

Whilst the need for the activity to be done reliably may allow to argue that "cannot" does not mean never, the standard your uncle will need to meet is still very high.

You will need to show that he experiences either;

overwhelming psychological distress

or

he exhibits behaviour which would result in a substantial risk of harm to him or another person;

when he is with other people.

Your posts haven't suggested this level of issue.

thanks for your reply, i understand what your saying,i ticked no to the question do you need another person to help you mix with other people, because he does not socialise, which now looks like a mistake, but i did say i he never goes out unaccompanied on the going out question due to panic attacks, is it worth writing explaining that he does need help when mixing with other people,or best to just wait and see now thank you for your patience

They can only assess your uncle on the information that they have in front of them, right or wrong.
