    Where did you get that from?
    Are you suggesting that the DWP are no longer looking at the individual but instead are putting their diagnosis/symptoms into those three categories?

    @danb I really would not worry about that information in that link as the information is to do with DLA and is from 2007, as you been asked to move to PIP it's a functional test and how it affects you.

    Its not just about he diagnosis of your illness or disability's..

    I created one of the campaign election videos for Labour, and Jeremy Corbyn,

    I highlighted everything that's wrong with this country from benefits, NHS, UC etc, but now we have to put up with the hate now that is the Tories.

    You are not required to perform any activity without pain but any pain you do feel should be taken into consideration. Make good use of the Safely, Repeatedly, To an acceptable standard and for the majority of time criteria
    Be all you can be, make  every day count. Namaste

    So the functional tests is can you lift  your foot 5cm from the floor can you move your head side to side front to back this determines what exactly

    Pretty much that?

    So it's how it will affect you on a majority of days throughout the year, over 50% of the time taking into account safely, repeatedly acceptable standered. You get where I'm going with this, also as DLA was done on a 24hr, ie Day & Night needs. 

    PIP is done on the majority of days throughout a week or year not based on Day or Night needs. Confusing I know.

    I was on DLA and had to go though all this caper too.

    What you have quoted is the old system of categorising people depending on their condition for DLA. It has absolutely nothing to do with PIP.

    It is highly unlikely that you will get away using that excuse at a face to face assessment. I was warned when I was asked to squat which I said was impossible due to pain that I could be said to not be co-operating with the assessor!
