Fitznspatz said:WF2k, that might be appropriate in other circumstances but in this specific case Jpc has no one to help her. Were she to set up the equipment herself, as ilovecats says, it invalidates a claim for points under two categories.
Surely it will only 'invalidate a claim' if it's not true?
If someone is claiming that they don't have the cognition/ dexterity to carry out certain tasks when they are perfectly able, and avoids setting up a tape recording to maintain this deception, then that's very wrong. -
ilovecats said:It depends what the person is claiming they cannot do. If it is take tablets out of a packet, or cannot follow a recipe, anything dexterity or cognitive related then it would go against their claim.

sorry I wasn’t being detailed - the bulk of my claim is due to my having ME which affects my concentration, ability to follow directions, mobility, hand eye coordination etc. Added to that is long term depression and social anxiety which means that even when I’m able to get out of the house (and it has to be by car), I’m unable to go further than my village unaccompanied. My mobility, cooking, communication, dressing, medication, and washing components are almost entirely ME related but the small amount of things I can do are further limited by my mental health. I hope that makes sense?
