AR1 form cooking was created by Tilly
I noticed something on the latest review form AR1 on Preparing food and cooking. In the part 'Things we do consider' it mentions 'safely cooking, using a microwave or hob to cook or heat food'. I thought eating up a meal in a microwave didn't count as being able to perform this activity.
Has anything change in the law that would make heating a ready meal in the microwave the equivalent to being able to perform the activity without any help or aids?
Thanks

Hi Tilly

You will find the effects of using a microwave on the PIP descriptors and the case law in this useful summary from Pipinfo:-
pipinfo.net/activities/preparing-food

Let us know how you get on.

So no change from previously, still needs to be simple meals from fresh ingredients even if cooked in microwave (not ready meal).
Thank you David

Hi Tilly

As you can see from the Pipinfo article, it is not so much about the microwave itself but about the incapacity of the claimant. It would be worthwhile to have a look at the case law quoted.
