Assessor awarded PIP

amberkindness wrote: Its due to mental health, I wrote in detail in my PIP2 form and said some of the problems I was having at the assessment. I have little motivation, lack appetite due to low mood etc to prepare a meal and can only do this at maximum twice a week or I can maybe make lunch twice a week but not on same days as preparing dinner.

At time of assessment I had not prepared any proper meals for about three weeks. I am more likely to eat if someone makes a meal for me but even then I don't always finish it.

Based on what you have posted you are saying that you need prompting.

Supervision means that you need someone with you as there may be a danger to you or others, for example you start cook food and then forget that it is on.

Assistance means that you need someone to help you with part of the activity, for example you can prepare and cook the meal but cannot lift the pans to and from the hob (and an aid would not help).

Your help so far has been greatly appreciated.

I don't think there is any value in your stating the number of points, the two; the Descriptor and the points are intrinsically linked, if is accepted that you meet the Descriptor then you get the points, the DM has no flexibility in this.
