Hi Riget
It's up to you what you write, but if you have to go for an MR then it makes sense to raise all areas where you think you should have scored more highly.

Hi, I've been giving this more thought waiting for the decision and I think I could go for 8pts for dressing alone, this would be for doing it in a timely manner, I take it all clothes are included, so in order to get dressed I have to put underwear on before my prostheses and so the time to put my leg on has to be included in the getting dressed time, I'm certain it takes me more than twice the time to dress so would I get 8pts because I can't dress in a timely manner?
Also thinking about the assessors decision I can't see how she gave me 0pts, I can't dress standing up and she acknowledged I need an aid to stand so how do I dress unaided without standing and sitting?
Thanks.

Hi Riget
I cannot tell you what they will think about how long it takes you to get dressed. Unfortunately, I think it probably depends on the decision-maker whether they think the time it takes is really an issue. I'm not saying don't raise it - I just have no idea what they will think.
It certainly does seem to be an anomaly that the assessor says you need an aid and then awards no points.
