use of aids was created by a-t
hi all on the pip 2 form where it asks about aids used for preparing a meal
if i dont cook because its to dangerous for me to do so due to past accidents
in the kitchen is it acceptable to not tick yes or no or sometimes and write
see extra information where i explain i dont use any aids or appliances like
a timer as i would forget to set them or get confused about why they are going
due to my poor memory and concentration?
many thanks

I read a lot on various websites about the use of aids. Some say that it might actually play against you as assessor can always state that you can cope with certain tasks with the help of aids. Do you think it might be the case?

This was true for DLA but not for PIP, where the use of an can be justified then it should result in points being scored.
