Hi on the form it asks how far you can walk.
But it varies, I can be completely immobilised during an attack or I can walk some distance.

How do I answer this question as there isn't a 'variable' tick box. Can I just tick less than 20m then put variable next to it and explain underneath?

Hi Remix

Yes, you can do as you suggest - tick the box and then give an explanation below.

Just a thought, but would it be possible for you to keep a diary of your attacks (for a week), the duration of each and the symptoms during each? That way you have an accurate record of a (typical) week to show DWP.

Hi Becky...

I've had another extension on my review (which makes 3.. didn't know it was possible) so I may have time before the forms go in.

I do find it hard to keep a daily, on top of everything else, but it's certainly worth a try. What I have done is mapped a couple of walks, where I had nausea and when I stopped to be sick.

Thank you for the thoughtful suggestion!
