question 13 on esa50 was created by mangof
I have read the relevant bit of the guide in the members section. It gives advice on which box to tick. (never, sometimes, it varies)

It says in the guide that 'it varies' on its own & wouldn't get points. But would it get points if you give lots of the details in the box below?

The question is something like 'can you initate actions' The tick boxes 'sometimes' and 'it varies' are confusing. They don't seem very different.

I am going to be putting that because of my condition that I can't manage to get up/washed etc/ do everyday tasks the way that somebody who is well could - ie my life is very limited and I would be doing things much more slowly/or unable to complete sometimes/unable to initiate sometimes.

Is ticking 'it varies' a bad idea? Is ticking 'sometimes' the best option - sometimes I can do it but mostly I can't?

I think what Steve is trying to suggest with the use of "Sometimes" and "It Varies" is as follows;

By using Sometimes a claimant would be saying that they always suffer with the problem, but can on occasion initiate and complete a task without problem.

Whereas, if It Varies, you would be saying that you do not always have a problem, but when you do, you have problems with tasks.

The underlying issue being that you must be able to show you have an issue with a descriptor for the majority of the time.

I hope this explains it better.
