Pip reading and symbols was created by Anne
For the Reading descriptor would using a Kindle or electronic device count as an aid as I cannot read books, magazines or leaflets due to my inability to turn the pages as neither of my hands work. If someone turned the pages for me I have the ability to read.

Hi Anne
I would say that your kindle is an aid, you will need to explain why it is an aid, can you press buttons to turn the page with your hands or do you use a implement to help you.
I can remember many years ago we build a cover to go over a key board with holes in for a person who suffered from cerebral palsy, he had a head band with a small rod attached and could use the computer to type.

Thank you ,sometimes I use the buttons and sometimes I use touch with the side of my thumb and sometimes I use my nose depending on the sensations in my hands.

I'm afraid I am going to disagree with my colleague, this is a reading test there is no requirement for you to turn pages included in the activity. See our PIP Claim guide for a better understanding of what is covered.
