@Mijuka my pal does for her severe ibs incontinence and she scored 2points for that. But she explained in graphic detail how she has leakages and has to carry changes of clothing no matter where she goes. I can vouch for her on that 100%.

Hi @Mijuka. Here's the descriptors for the Managing toilet needs or incontinence section:

5. Managing toilet needs or incontinence.

1. Can manage toilet needs or incontinence unaided. 0 points.
2. Needs to use an aid or appliance to be able to manage toilet needs or incontinence. 2 points.
3. Needs supervision or prompting to be able to manage toilet needs. 2 points.
4. Needs assistance to be able to manage toilet needs. 4 points.
5. Needs assistance to be able to manage incontinence of either bladder or bowel. 6 points.
6. Needs assistance to be able to manage incontinence of both bladder and bowel. 8 points.

It looks like you could score 2 points depending on your condition.
