I've actually put in for a MR myself. As I was 2 points away from enhanced on DL and I want them to consider the mobility side again. Currently it's no award on mobility. I'll let you know how that goes. Should hear from them in 5 weeks.
But yeah. Best advice is keep MR to less then 10 pages. Keep it concise and to the point. Statements from witnesses help. And giving date/times of task carried out and how they fit into appropriate descriptor. And be sure to reiterate that you did not step in out of love but rather out of need and necessity when intervening during a task.
Plus another point for the community to discuss. The Case manager clearly pointed out that a memory issues is not considered by any of the pip activities. But surely memory issues will have a large bearing on the way you conduct such activities.
That's it for now. Signing off and be back with update.
Peace -

One descriptor which does not seem to take it into account is reading. It seems that even if you forget what you have read, if you understand it at the time you read it that means you can read. Never got my head around that - it reduces any reading to a way of filling in time rather than an essential activity to be able to manage your affairs.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -

That's exactly the main descriptor the CM referred to, but did state it in couple other areas like journey planning. I couldn't understand it either. But the CM reiterated it a couple of times and States that PIP does not take that into account.
Makes me wonder......
But the CM sounds like she had a good understanding of what constitutes an award and did go against the HCP totally as that offered nil points all round.
Strange world. Sometimes it really is a matter of who you get dealing with the case.
