Anybody know what the criteria are for stopping while walking for ESA / DLA?

If you can walk 10 meters but then need to stop for a few seconds to correct your balance to stop you falling over does that count or do you have to walk <20M then need a several hour kip for it to count? :confused:

If you can walk 10 meters then need to stop, then you can only walk 10 meters.
Worst day, worst day.

There's very clear guidance on this sort of question at benefitsandwork.co.uk. They tackle the issue of how to answer when your condition fluctuates. I forget the details, but I do remember that they advise not to exaggerate by describing your 'worst' days as normal. Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm v. tired, best to check the guides.
 
United sector secures late changes to PIP Regulations
Posted on February 4, 2013


Following sustained pressure by members of the Hardest Hit Coalition, Spartacus and other campaigners, the DWP has agreed to require PIP assessors to consider whether claimants can perform activities to an acceptable standard, safely, repeatedly, and in a reasonable time period.

These requirements are now in the PIP Regulations currently before Parliament. Previously they were only in the guidance for assessors and would therefore have carried significantly less weight when decisions are made about eligibility.
This is an important breakthrough and means there is much less reason to fear the introduction of the 20m cut-off for eligibility for higher rate mobility of PIP.
Over 750 of you used the e-action on the Hardest Hit website to contact your MP and express concern over this issue and your hard work was instrumental in securing change to the assessment regulations.
Look out for the Channel 4 Dispatches programme on PIP – due to be broadcast in the next week or so.

31 January 2013 – PIP assessment guidance to be further strengthened in law

How someone carries out a range of activities will be considered when their eligibility for the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is assessed, under law, Esther McVey, Minister for Disabled People, confirmed today.
The proposed addition to the regulations now means that legally individuals will be assessed on what they can do safely, reliably, repeatedly and in a reasonable time period.
Following a consultation on the regulations, it was suggested some of the criteria claimants needed to meet was unclear and didn't take into account fluctuating conditions. These amendments seek to address this.
Minister for Disabled People, Esther McVey said:
"Our intention has always been the same - we want to target support at those who need it most. We have always said that we will not just look at whether individuals can carry out activities but also the manner in which they do so.
"I know that disabled people and their representatives feel strongly that this important concept is set out in law and I am happy to do this."
The addition to the regulations formalises the current wording included in draft PIP guidance.
A draft amending regulation has been published today. A final Regulation will be laid once the PIP regulations currently being considered by Parliament are made but before they come into force in April.
Note to Editors:
The draft amending Regulation is published on the DWP website:

I have just started cunting them off on the forms, it's all totally fucking irrelevant.

My handwriting is a fucking embarrassment, at least it's better than 5 months ago when I could barely write my own name cus me shitty spazhand wouldn't work.

I enjoy doing atos forms now cus I just tell then their form is a shiterag and they are cunts. :cool:

All of the cunts need to know how the fuck it feels, you can replace it with any other disease than cancer, I don't care.

And they are all decision makers despite their bullshit claims they aren't, they decide shit that has an impact, they are all pricks. Every single one of em at every stage of the process is a cunt and I hope they get fucking pwned by incurable disease.

Severe M.E., fairly advanced M.S., or the slow burning type of motor neurone disease would be what I'd prefer them to get: Something which almost certainly wouldn't kill the wrong un very quickly, but would leave him/her fully aware of being trapped in their own body and unable to do anything about it.

You're not dying yet, missy. Not by your own hand. Not before celebrating Thatcher's death and Cameron & Clegg being kicked out of Downing Street.
