Hi diceman

Points are not attached to the particular condition that someone has - more they are attached to the impact. So, for instance, if it comes to preparing a meal (if you are bedbound for the majority of the time because of your muscular dystrophy and/or chronic fatigue), then this is something you can't do. Therefore, you would then be saying that you can't prepare a meal and explain why and you should be awarded points. And it will be the same for every question. How does your muscular dystrophy and chronic fatigue and any other difficulties you may have impact your daily liviing and mobility as laid out under PIP.
