PIP ,MY DECISION was created by Ralph
IN explaining what has been awarded on the sheet MY DECISION she has stated "you are able to manage your own medication using a dosette box and setting an alarm on your phone" followed by "you can either manage medication or therapy or monitor your health condition unaided, or you do not need to but in Managing your treatments decision has stated "you can either manage medication/therapy or monitor your health condition unaided or you do not need to" and awarded 0/8 pts.So she has stated i use my phone and a dosette box for my medication but awarded no points for using those aids,i cannot understand how she can make both statements as one contradicts the other.

Hi Ralph
Unfortunately, it is quite common for claimants to find that in their reports or decision letters, there are points that directly contradict themselves. If you decide to put in for a Mandatory Reconsideration then you can challenge what's been written.

Go for it Ralph, our daughter gets an aid point for dosette box use, so why shouldn't you?.

I use a dosette box and alarms on my phone, I do it for convenience but I wouldn't say I have to use these aids and that is the key question here.
Have you explained the problems (and their cause) that you would have taking your medication if these aids were not available to you?
