Hi Djb200,
A person's walking ability for PIP is the amount you can do
In an acceptable manner including Without significant pain or breathlessness
In a reasonable time
Safely
AND
in such a way that you can do all the sorts of repeats I mentioned previously.
Even if you can manage over 200m in one go, if this causes fatigue or pain etc and you can't do again then you don't repeat. The law provides that you only have to consider the majority of days, so if you can walk repeatedly, Safely etc over 49% days, but not for 51% you can score points at the relevant level.
If you can't do (or avoid because it's too painful, tiring etc) all the repeats ie all the instances of walking, either as an actual walk somewhere, or as an few step adjunct to a car/bus etc journey then that day is a 'can not do this day' . If all the can not days reach over 51% you should score at whatever level you can not walk or the most prevalent scoring level if more than one applies.
Please remember that the 4 criteria of which repetition is one apply to ALL descriptors. The repetition rate alters per descriptor- but if you think what either you would wish to achieve ( if non disabled) or if there are personal circumstances that require more repetitions of the relevant activity, (eg incontinence will require more toilet needs ) then this is the likely repetition rate. I believe reading may be required during all daytime, and communication could be required 24/7. If, apart from a very insignificant time you can't repeat the correct amount if times then add up each day where this happens. Does it amount to over 51% of the days, if so you score.
I hope this helps.
