Firstly, thanks again to the excellent guides on this site and after 18 torturous months of waiting for my review to be decided on, I finally had an assessment 4th April and got a result this Monday. They have re-awarded me what I had before the review.
I am only just a couple of points shy of enchanced care though and have a question on the washing and bathing section
4 f. Needs assistance to be able to wash their body between the shoulders and waist. 4 points.
When she asked me the question which I think covers this she kept asking if I could wash my front between shoulders and waist, but in the question above it says nothing about 'front'. Am I right in thinking that it should equally apply to whether or not you can wash your back between shoulders and waist?

It does include the back but you would also need to show that you are unable to use an aid to wash your back to score points for this Descriptor.

Thank you. Could you give me an idea of the type of aid they think you can use to do your back?
