It’s not just the ability to do said activity it’s the ability to do so safely & repeatedly. So if you could do so once & then fall apart you’d still qualify. There’s a lot more to pip awards than the raw interpretation of the question.
There’s a hell of a, lot of case law behind decisions too which is why so many tribunals win because they can quote previous cases.
I have always been awarded standard on both elements few years ago I felt I was worse so on review I thought I’d stand a chance of more points. I got one less. I had help with a written MR and the dwp “lost” it & redid the application with the same results. Went to tribunal & after a year wait they found in my favour in under 3 minutes. I had Fightbak4justice do all my paperwork & prep me.
The court staff even security were absolutely lovely so caring friendly & nice and here we are now. If you get a reduction especially please get help do an MR & be prepared to go to a tribunal. I was terrified literally shaking on the day but everyone was just so kind. U like the dwp.
Unfortunately like everything in this country unless you fight you get the shaft. Always ask the dwp for the pa4 the assessors report & ho thru look for the lies. Mine said I can stick my own Butrans patches to my own upper back for one.
Yeah you don’t have a car to show for it at the end of a lease period or on leaving the scheme but that’s why leasing etc isn’t for everyone you also don’t have to contend with depreciation, cowboy me hs (altho if you can buy a new car you’d dodge them there too). Having had carefree motoring from company cars then private ownership now my first motability car I know which I prefer but that’s also likely down to my anxiety & panic attacks so less to worry about.
Certainly wish you all the best & hope you get your award back whether you stay put of the scheme or not if anyone needs the award they need the award.
