How many activities could you successfully argue for the effects of tinnitus and depression. My tinnitus has led to Insomnia, I have real trouble concentrating on even the simplest task and it's become emotionally draining. How do I set out using motivation i.e. prompting, within the descriptors?

Hi Andy
Only you know the impact of your tinnitus. Take each question at a time and jot down on a piece of paper how it affects you. So preparing a meal. You said the tinnitus stops you concentrating. So does that affect your ability to prepare a meal. Do you think you can't be bothered? Does the tinnitus put you in danger, when you're preparing a meal because of your lack of concentration? If the tinnitus causes you insomnia, how often and how much is your sleep disrupted? And then if your sleep is disrupted how does this affect your ability to do the things laid down in the PIP criteria.
You need to then do the same for your depression.
Then you will have your answers.

Hi BIS
I can normally make a simple breakfast, eggs on toast or porridge, but the focused concentration makes the tinnitus worse. Come lunchtime and I am completely shattered and have to go for a lie down. By the time I have woke up it's normally teatime and to be honest I cannot be bothered to cook anything proper. Usually its junk food or the chippy. This happens practically everyday.

Hi Andy
Then this is what you say - that you have trouble managing your nutrition because you're too exhausted to cook more than once a day.
