    in statement it says therefore she is likely to require an aid to be able to manage toilet needs safely to an acceptable standard but i still got 0 points on this im confused if any one can if possible explain this to me and do i stand a chance of getting those 2 points at tribunal many thanks debbie

    Usual DWP gobbledegook.
    Looks like they are saying you should have scored 2 points for needing an aid and therefore likely that tribunal will pick up on it
    Good luck

    the inconsistency seems to be that the assessor chose descriptor A for 0 points but in their report they seem to have suggested that you need an aid for toilet needs and therefore B for 2 points should have been chosen. Because of this the report is inconsistent with assessment
    hope that makes it a little clearer
