Mobility second time around

Hi Debsy1960,
The previous refusal to award Mobility, should not be a bar to an award now!
I assume this is a phone assessment.
You may wish to have a few quick notes with you, and a spare page in case you want to make notes. Maybe a friend or relative can be with you and make full notes?
Have a read of your claim or review form. Is there anything extra that you could have included to describe your health problems better.
It is likely that the assessor will ask about 'your typical day'. So he may ask what you have for breakfast, lunch etc whether you work, do you go to the supermarket, do you drive etc.
Using the answers the assessor will make assumptions about the descriptor activities. (So, if you can walk round the supermarket or walk the dog, then you won't have walking problems!)
Or alternatively, if you have problems that mean you can't get round the supermarket, your answer might be; 'I can no longer get to the supermarket. My husband has to do all the shopping....'The latter answer is more likely to gain points!
Of course it is important to be honest, but the advantage of a phone assessment is that you can have notes in front if you, and as long as you are not obviously reading straight from it this means you can know what to say.
Remember that each activity has to be done safely, to an acceptable standard repeatedly across the day as necessary, and take no more than twice a non disabled person. Also, remember the majority rule. You should score points if you can't do the activity for the majority if days.This means if you fail an activity fir a part of the day, then that day counts towards the majority of days.
Pain, breathlessness fatigue are all relevant and may mean you can repeat, or fail to achieve an acceptable standard.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
