Did you detail these problems on the form?

Have a look at your medical records at your GP practice for supporting evidence.

Yes i did, i went into great detail with regards to when i was diagnoised, all my operations, and so on, the MA did not ask me how any of my issues affect me while he was here. He did the so called strength test, asked about my medications, asked if i went shopping asked if i cooked, asked if i washed and all he wanted was yes and no answers, he would not allow us to go into detail and when we tried he kept saying he would come back to that and he didn't. he states on my form that he had an unsolicited fme letter, he asked if i had any letters, we showed him a few and he asked to keep that one.

I don't know what aids I am supposed to buy or not, I have had OT here and SS and had full medicals from them, as I say, it's not all cut and dry, I have other personal issues that cause pain on just sitting down, and as for braces and boots, they don't stop me suddenly passing out, they only aid in myself from collapsing with my ankle gives me the pain of a break

It may just be your choice of words, forgive me if it is but did you explain why you cannot complete the PIP activities?

- What condition(s) prevent you from doing so?
- Whether suitable aids would help or not and if not, why not?
- Whether help from someone else would allow you to complete them?
- If your condition(s) vary and how?
- DId you make proper use of "reliably" and "on the majority of days"

I'm not looking for you to post your answers here, just to confirm that you explained these things on the form.

I am getting confused now everything in my head is mush.

I filled in the form in great detail at how my problems affect me, I explained what help I used and how it was used.

the assessors form that he has created, disputes virtually everything I placed in my form and states aids would help me walk or go out and about, sure if they didn't cause me significant pain or I needed someone to push my wheelchair. without my wheelchair or a carer I am housebound, it's not a choice. my condition varies, yep from bad to worse, I don't get good days anymore.
