I'm afraid I can't give you an example relevant to your brother, you need to explain

1. What is the health condition and what are the symptoms that cause his problems with making decisions about spending and managing money? For example, learning difficulties or severe fatigue.
2. Describe the problems he has, giving details and examples if you can.
3. If he needs physical help, supervision or prompting, whether he actually get it or not, explain what he needs and why he needs it. If he can’t manage even with help from another person, say so.
4. Say when during the day or night he has problems. For example, is it all the time, mostly in the morning or just in the evening?
5. If his condition varies, from day to day or week to week, try to explain how much it varies and what problems he has when he is at his best, worst and average.

Some good news and some bad.! Brother has been awarded Pip with out F2F assessment, which he was very relieved about He was on DLA middle rate care
and low rate mobility, an indefinite award. He has been awarded Standard rate care for PIp scoring 11 pts to be reviewed in 2019. As his condition had deteriorated recently I was expecting more points, and qualify for enhanced care. He scored only 4 points for mobility, which I believe is difficult to get. Would really like some advice as to whether it is worth asking for a mandatory reconsideration. Thanks
