Taking nutrition how can I demonstrate poor grip ie have food cut use an aid ..when with using a stick with both hands which I had to
Basically he is saying has good grip due to this I do have food cut but it’s when wrist is in such pain I can’t move my hand Pain is not covered in this scope ...seems to be an impossible task

I would start by thinking about the other areas that your poor grip would effect, Preparing Food, Washing and Bathing and Dressing and Undressing, this show consistency.

Next explain what causes the problem, for example Arthritis or Carpal Tunnel, etc. and how it effects you, so is it pain when gripping or are you unable to grip tightly, spasms, etc.

Give specific examples of the problem. so holding a knife, can you grip it sufficiently to hold it safely, can you apply sufficient pressure to actually cut the food? What are the after effects?

All my evidence was based on Arthritis and "Diabetic neuropathy which didn't get a mention" ie managing bowl incontinence needing help to Clean, dress etc, but this was just put down as uses pads for incontinence 2 points Needs an aid to walk etc needs an aid to dress 2 point, it was all dismissed Just proved I had dexterity in both hands and yet HP said you should have asked for a home visit Talk n Type to diffrent people, I didn't realise the deck was so stacked ..and yet I had all the evidence to prove my conditions
Not got a good feeling about this Gordon

Wright today I’ve got my “not taking this lightly head on” so to speak everything you have said Gordon was explained and explained really well with Proof in my PIP2 reports. My task now is to get the Mandatory Reconsideration to reassess, It needs to be looked at with a clean set of eyes “ Unbiased” There is no more evidence I can send it was all sent. Is there more chance of the DWP looking at this in the light it should have been as apposed to the ATOS one ? Do they look at the ATOS report or do they look at my PIP2 or both? Do I need to resend anything, Can I send Photographs “Say of swollen right hand wrist misshaped thumb compaired left hand, Can I just win the Lottery if only!
The ATOS HP had no intention or awarding high points Stephen Hawkings would have come out with a clean bill of health. How do I put it in words that Arthritis and Diabetic neuropathy are life changing conditions and not observation to score low points, Sounds bad that but that is exactly what Mr Atos did I kid you not and I’ve got it all recorded which is of no us to me Appealing wise
