standing and sitting descriptor queary

Steve

There is no clear advice regarding this situation.

The test, according to the WCA handbook, is primarily aimed at assessing the capabilities of the lower and upper body, in other words the strength of the legs and arms with regard to lifting the body up and across, the example used is from a wheelchair to a toilet.

My personal opinion, which of course counts for little is that if you cannot sit in the first place, then you cannot perform the test and therefore should meet the criteria for 2(a).

However, if you were able to move from a prone position to standing up, then this may argue against the above.

Bottom line, state what you believe to be the case, and support it with appropriate medical evidence wherever possible.

Good luck.
