Unable to handle money? was created by glassartist
My partner has dexterity problems in that her brain doesn't recognise signals from her fingers & other places, she is unable to pick up cash to pay anyone, or to use a PIN machine to pay for goods. I am confused as to which questions in the PIP form might cover this. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

My full name is showing, how can I stop it?


In principle it would come under question 12 Making decisions about money, however, this is activity is not about the physical handling of money, it is only concerned with the cognitive or mental health issues that would prevent a claimant being able to manage their money. See the PIP Claim guide for more information.

If she has dexterity problems then I would expect her to potentially score points for;

Q3 - Preparing Food
Q4 - Eating and Drinking
Q6 - Washing and bathing
Q8 - Dressing and undressing
