PIP Question 10: Managing Money, etc.

Mari

Whilst the Activity does not specifically exclude the physical problems that a claimant might have managing money, I think it unlikely that you would score points for problems in this area.

The activity is called "Making Decision About Money", I think you should assume that the emphasis is on "Decision", also the activity repeatedly uses the word "budgeting" in defining how claimants can score points, whilst this may involve elements of physical activity, for example selecting the correct change, I think the assessor and Decision Maker will see this as primarily being about calculating the change to give.

That does not mean that you cannot argue physical problems prevent you from carrying out the activities defined for simple versus complex budgeting decision, but I would certainly not rely on your scoring points.
