therapy was created by knorrish
does applying ointment to one feet on the instructions of my gp and the chiropodist of the local hospital diabetics clinic constitute "therapy" or "taking medication".
i have to wash my feet three times a day then apply the cream by standing on paper with the cream on it then trying to walk it in the feet. i cannot bendover so the cream
does not get rubbed in properly leaving me prone to hardening and breaking up of my foot skin leaving me at risk from infection.
what pip discriptor fits this situation,is it "therapy" or unable to take "medication"
or both
regards.

Good question knorrish. I would suspect that it would be therapy rather than medication, but a case could be made for either. It's another 'We'll just have to wait and see what DWP guidance says and whether tribunals agree' issue.
