HI,You can but you may not get very far. DWP have nothing to do with the reports, they are written by the health assessment providers. Any comnplaints about the report should be sent to the health assessment providers.Regarding the medication, she stated that she can do this with no problems, why did she state this if she can't. Why does her partner give her the medication? Is she unable to that herself, does she forget to take it so needs reminding to do so?Did she score any points for preparing a meal and dressing/undressing.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 thank you for reply yes 2 on both aid would be appropriate to reduce fatigue and assit with repeatability she doesnt want to complain and just needs reminding for med i think what it saying she doing things on better day so this is causing the severe fatigue on majority of days but she gets post exertion from any physical activity tha

If she scored 2 points for each of the activities for washing/bathing and preparing a meal then she must have scored 1 point for medication because she scored 7 points in total for daily living. 1 point for medication is correct here.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.
