PIPchanges in offing? or off post 16.3. sp. Meds was created by apples6
Greetings:
1Please would you be so kind as to provide legislation regulation changes to PIP re (managing) medications or similar.
Thank you and if possible B+W's interpretation thanks.
I believe I have got the gist of the mobility cull via anxiety and similar u/f.
However cannot quite get head around the meds or similar 1 also which no of the Descriptors is it and how would points be affected (adversely)
Many thanks as always
Best Wishes Apples 6
PS 2 As prev said not techy so unable to page link and all that: thanks for understanding: I would never be able to appeal online if had to: what would happen?!

Have a look at the following
www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/194/made
and in particular the explanatory notes at the bottom.

1. In simple terms the DWP have separated taking medication and therapy into two separate things, where previously they were effectively one.
The net result is that claimants who need help with medication can only now score 1 point for Descriptor (b), the higher points Descriptors are only available to claimants receiving therapy.
2. The use of aids has not really changed.
Without reading each UTT Decision I can't say what the effect would be, but from the summaries I think it to be negligible as these already seem to distinguish between taking medication and having therapy.
