I chased my call back, been waiting 8 days, the call centre transferred me to what she referred to as Case Manager/Worker. When put through I asked if he was a DM, if he made decisions, checked through PA3s etc to which he responded yes.
However when discussing preparing food, he referred to his information, and said that a simple meal could be frozen veg and ready meals and that I could do that, I said but I thought the veg had to be fresh, to which he replied frozen veg are fresh. So i said I thought you had to be able to chop and peel vegetables. He was not seeing it like me at all.
Anyway, am I going mad, or am I right?
I am losing faith in my challenging preparing food points now.

I think the person you spoke to is mistaken about what constitutes a simple meal prepared from fresh ingredients. A ready meal most certainly does not count and I would argue that neither do frozen vegetables, not least because they are already prepared, unless you can purchase whole frozen carrots, etc.

I can't seem to get to speak to anybody at the DWP who is clued up enough to help.
I have also been told that you have to be unable to stand up in order to claim opd, surely not?

I'm not aware of any requirement for a claimant to be unable to stand if they suffer from OPD, however, there would certainly be an expectation that they would not be able to continue with the activity in question.

If a DM was to agree to look over my claim because they agreed an evidence attachment had been overlooked by all involved in the process, ie treating it as a processing mistake rather than an MR, could my points be lowered just like they could with an MR?
