Hi Gordon

I think you've probably not realised that the the last post you posted ( on whether using / not using chair or stool ) there was no reply from you.

Thanks for your reply Gordon

Because of the fact i cannot stand for too long without pain i don't actually do the cooking either on a cooker or in the microwave and my partner does the cooking for me. Therefore would i answer this on the basis of if ever i had to do it. if i didn't have that support??
thanks

PIP is looking at your ability to perform the tasks, if you are unable to perform an activity such as preparing and cooking a meal, then it is essential that you document the reasons why you cannot do it, deferring the activity to your wife is mostly likely to suggest to the Decision Maker that this is a matter of convenience and not of necessity.

Gordon thankyou for your replies,

Apologies but without wanting to labour the point what if the task is not delegated to my wife because of convenience but it is done because of my disability, would i answer this descriptor by saying if i had to prepare a meal on the very odd and rare occasions i would struggle to do so due to my disability and would that give me the 2 points because i would do it in the microwave or use a stool or chair (on these rare occasions)
thanks once again

If you want to score points for this or any other descriptor then you need to explain in detail why you cannot reliably perform the relevant requirement, if you do not make it clear why you cannot perform the task yourself with examples of the problems you would have you run the risk of not scoring points.

The fact that you are rarely required to cook is not the issue being tested, this is about the care you need not the care you get.
