Epilepsy- should I quote 2017/AACR 32ws was created by traceytracey
Hi all,
I am trying to help my daughter with her first pip claim. ( I had no idea that I could have gotten help when she was a child) She suffers from epilepsy, ( anxiety & depression and a degree of incontinence (due to an accident whilst having a seizure). I have only just realised whilst doing my own claim that she can maybe claim for epilepsy (full blown seizures with or without warning).
(1) Should I quote the judges ruling above on the claim form? my daughter's epilepsy sounds very much like the person quoted in this ruling ?
(2) Is there any other point I should make them aware of on the form due to this ruling?

Sorry to ask but i have just filled in my own form and had my telephone review on Tuesday so my brain is a bit fried :(.
Any advice much appreciated.

Hi TraceyTracey

I think you have to make a personal judgement on this.

Personally I wouldn't include any judicial rulings on a claim form. I keep that information for any MRs or Appeals. The assessor is not likely to take any notice of it. Their only focus is on your daughter and her difficulties against the PIP criteria.

Hi Bis

Thank you for that,

seeing it written in black and white makes perfect sense to use it in MR if need be :).

Thank you for clarifying that and helping my poorly brain lol
