PIP fight goes on.

After waiting for a mandatory decision the PIP decision stands. Low rate mobility 22 pound and no daily rate.The letter from the Neuro Occupational Therapist stating my partner cannot cook or use aids to cook stands for nothing. Do I continue to fight and represent my partner in court? This is wearing me out. Are they thinking that if my partner can work he is safe to cook? His job is being reviewed too. How do I prove my point that he's at risk cooking due to cognitive and fatigue. I do everything I can to help and am insulted by these people.

It depends what he does at work? Does he walk about? Carry, lift, move things ect? If he uses a computer/writing how does he do this if he has action/intent tremors & co-ordantion problems? All this will be taken into account & his employment will have to give direct honest answers on how he copes day to day not just on his worst days. This isn’t me asking all this but it’s what the DWP will be asking his employment & how they will work his points out.
