[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2095931, member: 100904"] Another important thing to remember is if your health condition gives intermittent symptoms meaning you are not able to complete a task for at least 50% of the time it is regarded that you are unable to complete the task at all. Also, in assessing ability to, for example, walk 20 metres you need to be able to do this ‘reliably, repeatedly, and in a timely manner’. This is open to interpretation, but thought to mean you should be able to walk that distance, whenever required, several times, without needing considerable breaks, or pain, and in the time taken by someone of similar age without impairment. So if you can’t, then you are deemed to be unable to do that task. This is where many people make the error of thinking that if they can manage some of the time, and it causes pain or distress, they have to state they are able to manage it. That can make the difference between being awarded a benefit or not. [/QUOTE]
