Medication & Ability

Mike

If you had said Washing and Bathing then I would say it was a solid "yes" but I think the case for Dressing is a bit more complicated and would be more dependant on the time involved and the issues involved, one of the things that they will be considering is that clothing is normally portable.

So, one hour possibly not, four hours more likely. Can you only dress in your bedroom? Have you properly addressed the issues of aids and assistance?

I think this will be difficult, especially if this is the only aid that you require in order to dress and you have no other problems with putting clothes on.

Does it extend to slippers or shoes that you would reasonably wear around your home?

You can certainly go back to the reliability criteria and the need for your pain medication to become effective but you will need to address the issue in some way of your only being affected for part of the day, one of the counter arguments might be that if you are so limited before the medication takes effect can you actually go anywhere that would necessitate the wearing of shoes.
