They have to start somewhere I guess. DLA asked you the same type of questions. It's a relatively new benefit its going to have flaws in it.
It's meant to be regardless of your problem, can you do this.
But because I had no outside input, medication for one of the issues I mentioned I didn't have it. Everthing was in the forms, but assessor decided in that hour I showed no anxiety and no memory problems. The forms get dismissed.
In the disability magazine it said that people were being too successful with the care element, so they added in the aids with less points. How true that is I don't know because I haven't been on it since the start.
I did the self assessments, I read the enclosed booklet plus the info on each page. Sent in what they asked for, explained what and why, added info from someone who knows me well.
They dismissed me as having insight and could help myself further and a low risk anyway
It is possible I have missed something vital, but it's also possible that I just don't qualify.
