You can certainly argue the case but I would have expected it to come under question 7 Managing Toilet Needs? Decision Makers are unlikely to award points for the same specific issue In two different Activities.

I think it unlikely but as I said it is for you to argue the point, but I would not rely on the points for it.

It would seem to most closely match 7(e).

Can i just mention that I've heard that getting a point for this descriptor will not actually change your award in any way as it is just one point. So maybe best to refer to another descriptor if possible? Apologies if this is wrong.
