Hello everyone, I have a question I hope you can help me with, I am my mums full time carer, she has a fused leg and cannot stand I have to lift her up onto her feet, so on the question of moving around she scored 10 points for “you can stand and then move using an aid or appliance more than 20 metres but no more than 50 metres” is this correct considering she can’t stanf by herself and I have to lift her up to stand, or should I tell them otherwise, thanks for all your help.

No it is not right do a Mandatory Reconsideration.2

@TomTom77
Assessors frequently 'underestimate' the extent of claimants' mobility, and daily living disability, which is why 69% of appeals succeed. As @lindadenise says, the first stage of appeal is mandatory reconsideration (MR).There is a Mandatory Reconsideration letter tool which will generate a letter for you.

Hi TomTom and welcome
Yes the descriptors are
12 d. Can stand and then move using an aid or appliance more than 20 metres but no more than 50 metres. 10 points
12 e. Can stand and then move more than 1 metre but no more than 20 metres, either aided or unaided. 12 points
So the question is how far can your mother walk having got to her feet with your aid ?
If she can move more than 20 metres then this is correct
Both d and e cover the use of aids ie. you. even if you don't have one there are aids available the could help your mother to get up so the distance covered is the critical question
