Can you spare 60 seconds to help with PIP

I dont know, so treat this cautiously, but traditionally the legal position has been that if you cannot carry out an activity repeatedly/reliably, then you are treated (or supposed to be) as if you cannot carry it out at all.

Hi All,

If you go to the PIP points system page and scroll down to the definitions near the bottom of the page I think quite a few of your queries about things such as pain and fatigue are already answered there. For example:

Reliably, in a timely fashion, repeatedly and safely
An individual must be able to complete an activity descriptor reliably, in a timely fashion, repeatedly and safely; and where indicated, using aids and appliances or with support from another person (or, for activity 10, a support dog). Otherwise they should be considered unable to complete the activity described at that level.

Reliably means to a reasonable standard.

In a timely fashion means in less than twice the time it would take for an individual without any impairment.

Repeatedly means completed as often during the day as the individual activity requires. Consideration needs to be given to the cumulative effects of symptoms such as pain and fatigue – i.e. whether completing the activity adversely affects the individual’s ability to subsequently complete other activities.

Safely means in a fashion that is unlikely to cause harm to the individual, either directly or through vulnerability to the actions of others; or to another person.

If these changes get in there wont be any motability cars about and those descriptors are tighter than the new ESA ones.

Its disgusting.

Hello,

Hi S,

As I advised you last week on this thread :

If you feel that you may qualify for an award of DLA you should make a claim ASAP.
