I recently won high rate Mobility but faied to get even the Low rate Care element even though incapable of safely preparing a main meal, let alone hypotheticlly.
The HYPOTHETICAL cooking test sounds easy to pass, but is hypothetically as easy to fail.
The DWP gave the standard "using suitable aids and adaptations ... blah blah blah" but they did not attempt to identify such suitable "aids and adaptations" (not even the dreaded slotted spoon)
I asked for this to be looked at again, this time asking multiple times in sequence for each area of difficulty,
"What aids and adaptations would you suggest to ..." ...stop spinal pain when standing at cooker (perching stool wont do)?
... stop crutches interfering with safe use of cooker?
... counter effects of medication
... prevent blah blah blah
... stop etc etc etc
... safely do something else
... stop all these aids and adaptations from interfering with other suggested aids and adaptations or normal, safe use of kitchen
Guess what, I've now won Low Rate Care as well !! Many thanks to B & W for their help for giving me the courage to try again, and again
