Hi, I’m a bit confused re the moving around question. If someone with a fluctuating condition can only move around the house say 5 days out of 7 due to pain and fatigue but the other 1 to 2 days they can maybe walk outside 100mtrs would they be considered as only being able to walk 20mtrs? Thank you.

Hi Heather

Try not to overcomplicate things when you are completing the form. I know you want to try to give a clear picture of having a fluctuating condition, but you need to focus on what you do the majority of the time. You can almost guarantee that an assessor will fixate on the longest distance you mention. Focus on the pain and fatigue and how that impacts your mobility - not on what you "may" be able to do on another day.
