hcp report

have received hcp report i asked for, the first page reads, ''we have extended your award to 25th January,2022''. then says it would be appropriate, to review the claim in 3years, OR based on evidence no requirement to arrange review, as change unlikely, medical conditions are long term change in short term unlikely, medium term review advised. the functional restriction will will be present a next review,. functional mobility present for at least 3months likely to remain at least 9 months. the hcp seems to make a great showing that i can drive less than a mile to the shop 4 days a week for a newspaper as it is too far to walk, she puts it in report quite often, then she writes in the washing and bathing descriptor ''needs to use aid or appliance to be able to wash and that my wife helps wash the lower half of my body, (this is in shower we don't have a bath) she says ''reasons why reported restrictions are not supported by evidence, she writes although he reports although wife gives him assistance, and he he is not able to get in and out of a bath'' he states he drives a manual car 4 times a week, indicating adequate power and grip to be able to use aid reliably. i am not really sure what she is telling the adjudicator. in fact i am not sure of anything, at the moment. could you maybe put me in the picture. thank you.

Hi magpiejoe08 , sounds like they are also suggesting you could use an aid to wash the lower half of your body rather than needing help from your wife. I had the same on my report. I am guessing something like a long handled sponge for example. Hope that helps. Best wishes

this report is set out a bit different to previous reports, the others state the i cannot do such and such thing for a number of days. i am not quite sure what she is saying. But think she is saying with me being able to drive to the newsagents less than half a mile there and back, i can feed wash and dress myself without help or at least using some kind of appliance so i think the care allowance is going as she has ticked different boxes to me on those descriptors. she has ticked the same box as me on the walking descriptor, can stand and then move unaided more than 20 but not more than 50 metres. how can i work out my points.

hello. one thing i forgot to ask, does it have any bearing on the fact that the hcp has given me 3 years instead of 2 as they have in the past? and finally. it reads 3 years OR based on available evidence i consider there to be no requirement to arrange a review of this claim as significant change is unlikely, and she says His medical conditions are long term with no planned input suggesting change in the short term is unlikely, therefore a medium term is advised. and it is likely that the functional restriction identified will be present at the recommended point of review. is that good? bad? or indifferent? news. thank you.
