I'm a bit confused regarding the 'eating and drinking' question. The question on the form asks if I need help or prompting , I don't need help but I do need to keep stopping and resting while eating due to my MS affecting my arms and hands. I also need to keep stopping due to my MS affecting my ability to swallow , making me cough and choke ..all together eating is exhausting for me.
Would I meet the descriptors 15(b) and 16(b) or not ?

You have nothing to lose by making the argument but I think you will need to provide a detailed explanation of your problems and how often you are effected. Try and explain how long it takes you to eat and if there is any variation dependant on the food, although you should be cautious not to suggest that one food type is easier than an other if you can avoid it.
