PIP assessment criteria and the underlying need of help but the help not being available or provided for as often as required... - this subsequent direct impact upon satisfying the 50% majority of days element of mobility 1f descriptor. (Evidence based applicable?)
2.1.18 The assessment does not look at the availability of help from another person but rather at the underlying need. As such, claimants may be awarded descriptors for needing help even if it is not currently available to them – for example, if they currently manage in a way that is unreliable, but with some help they could complete the activity reliably.
Please can someone explain how I could argue this above rule/ requirement and therefore support the satisfying criteria related to mobitity 1f - on the majority of the days (evidence based dependent or otherwise...)
or does - "Claimants can satisfy the descriptor by showing that they typically need to be accompanied by another person.. on the majority of days when undertaking familiar journeys ( its not necessary to show that they need such support for every possible familiar journey on most days).
Does this last point over ride the need to prove descriptor mobility 1f, more than 50% of the days of the required period?
