Hi all
I just have a question im confused about. The only people i can engage with face to face with without overwhelming distress, are my parents and siblings.
In my pip decision mr letter, the dm stated i can engage with close family( parents and siblings) which is true on most occasions without being overwhelmed. My question is do they have to look at all forms of engagement, not just very close family, is this a justified reason not to award 8 points? Because i can engage with my parents and siblings . When it comes to anyone else i am always overwhelmed and and completely avoided it for over 4 years now.
Thank you for any help

Being able to engage socially with family members is completey different to engaging with others. Advice given on a previous thread of yours was that 8 points should have been scored here. https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/84557/mandatory-reconsideration-denied-engaging-with-others-face-to-face-social-support#latest

@poppy123456. Thank you . I was just confused as the dm put down on my mr decision letter , you stated you can engage with family , and thought that meant i can engage with others. I wasnt sure if 8 points would require , a claimant to be unable to engage with anyone at all, even family0
