SOR and aPaper Based Assessment
kah22
Community member Posts: 52 Courageous
I expect my friends brown envelope to drop through the letterbox any day now.
Her assessment for the DLA to PIP change was paper based and from all that I’ve read we’ll probably want to look closely at some descriptors and how they were scored, especially mobility, before deciding if it is worth going for a MR (her condition is bipolar 1)
Considering it was a paper based assessmen can you tell me what we should ask for and what we don’t need to ask for? Any templates you can point me to?
As always many thanks
Kevin

I’ve three questions about mobility, can anyone answer these.
My friend goes to church, takes part in the service, and returns home. Would that be regarded as 1 OR 2 journeys with a break inbetween?
My friend enters the church but because of psychological pressure.had to leave during the service would that be one journey or two?
Or again my friend goes goes to church but because she hasn’t got someone to sit with her turns and goes home
What would be the most effective way of putting this point across and what descriptor might it be classed as?
To put a little flesh on the question I should say that my friend is a committed RC and attendance at Sunday service is very important to her

if she goes to church its a journey so two in fact there and back she can plan and cpmplete so thats one with no points ?mobility she can by going to church walk more than 200mtres realibily and safly so thats another fail the third could she cope with it i cant see them accepting she went but could not stay ??myself i would concider she always gets taken and supported thru service as a firm beleaver she cant miss a service regardless plus church support her as well plus it will show she can mix with others and talk to others without an assistant

however, being p***ed and not being able to navigate will not hold up

Username_removed said:FWIW going out is 1 journey and coming back is another. The number of journeys is irrelevant. What matters is that you’ve just done a distance repeatedly. If being unable to do a distance is then ruled out all you’re left with is whether the journey can be done reliably, safely or in a reasonable time.
