thanksThe scale normally used isFast walking 60- 90 metre per minuteslow walking 45 - 60 metre per minutevery slow up to 45 metre per minuteergo for mobility consider < 30 seconds for 20 metresBe all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
Thanks
anyone has experience answering the walking distance and time question
will appreciate any tips -
This was something assessors and tribunals were doing which is not in line with the descriptors. By asking how long can you walk for, with a little persuasion, most people would answer 1 or 2 minutes.This does not sound very much at all but the descriptor asks for the distance " How far can you walk " . When applied to the above scale even 1 minute could put you in descriptor b the 50 -200 metre distance, and therefore only 4 points. The translation from time to distance is then a matter of opinion and as we all know claimants over/under state their ability

I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Hi @samahira, tell us a bit more, what holiday related questions?
-
I went on a religious trip for 12 Days two years ago With my family but not on a holiday for the last 13 years because of my health
My medical record states that.
Pip requsted my medical record and will see that
what kind of questions can they ask -
I was awarded pip standard for both last April but my representative is convinced I should get higher for both as I used to because they helped me with my application from the beginning and know my circumstances well. So I appealed and date given for hearing once but called off as they wanted more medical evidence. I am now given another date and I am worried sick.

@smahira - you may be overthinking this and it seems to me that you're not as convinced about your entitlement to a higher award as your representative is. I apologise if I have misunderstood your post.
In any event,If you're asked about holidays then just tell the truth, as you've written above. -
Thank you for responding so quickly. I am convinced and I believe I should get higher award. But it’s being almost a year. I have physical as well as mental problems and this is making me even unwell.
Thanks again I will let you know the outcome. -
Hi
thank you to everyone who supported me. I had my hearing today. I was awarded enhanced for both mobility and daily by the appeal panels. -
That is great news. You should ring DWP in a few days to make sure they have a copy of the decision. Normally tribunal decisions take 5-8 weeks to put into payment
