PIP cooking and preparing meals

Tina12

Well hi everyone,
I was just reading back on my pip final failed decision and how they lied about what I said.
She said that I said I am able to chop vegetables which I never said at all .I actually said i can do tea and coffee on a good day and throwing some toast in the toaster but that's about it my mum does all the cooked meals for me now.. and I got 0 points for that ..🤔

When you filled out the form did you write in full detail why you're unable to prepare a simple meal? Just telling them you can't do it won't score any points, you need to fully explain why. What actually happened the last time you attempted to do this, did anyone see it, where were you, were there any consequences. You should give at least 2 real world incidents per descriptor that applies to you.

I said the same as I told the assessor..and that I get brain fog and anxiety

That's not enough of information at all.

@Tina12.

For this question I put that most times I have to sit down to chop fresh food.  The problem I have with sitting down and chopping food is I don`t have very good knife skills (as opposed to standing up - where my knife skills are very good) and because of this I`ve cut myself a few times. One time whilst sitting down and trying to use the knife as I do when I`m stood up I took the tip off my left index finger.

I put this in my PIP2.

It helped me to get enhanced daily living.
