My conditions make it impossible to do various things e.g. cooking a meal 100% of the time but I have to use a Microwave to warm up cooked food once a day 2days a week as I don't have help those days. ....All explained in pip Q's in great detail on PIP form.
Has anyone had experience of the 50% rule being ignored on PIP assessor report?!

Do not follow me, I don't know where I am going. -
My PIP result was based purely on what I was like on the day. Even though there was strong medical evidence stating that's what I'm normally like and most of the conditions I have do vary.

Hi @whistles
Thanks very much for those useful links. I had been trying to find some Case Law about this but brain is mashed at the moment...thanks again

Hi @Nystagmite
Thank for your reply...this is what worries me.
This is what makes the whole system completely unfit for purpose IMO

The reliabillty factors are often overlooked by all parties, HCP's, DM's and claimants

Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
My PIP result was based on the assessment too.
The 50% rule was ignored in my case. I said I have severe pain 3 days per week and severe fatigue 3 days per week.
They took that as having pain and fatigue 3 days per week and therefore is not the majority of the time -
I wasn't asked how often I had difficulties doing things. It was just "well, you can hear today, therefore, there's nothing wrong". My medical evidence stated that isn't quite true. (I don't process sound the way I should do)
