Unfortunately, that wwould be correct.So in theory if someone has walking difficulties IE using crutches or a walking stick and could only manage say 50 metres then had to stop because of pain,but could propel himself over 200 metres in a wheelchair you could in theory score no points,is that correct.

So if someone has got no upper body disability it might well be assumed that you should be able to self propel a wheelchair 200 metres by the HCP.
