Please any idea what I should score? My condition means it takes me well more than twice as long as for a normal person to use the toilet, multiple times a day, due to the necessity of managing my prolapse every time and cleaning myself. The assessor. acknowledged I said this but says I can physically do it so the excessive time is "not supported". But should I score more than the 2 points for aids given for raised toilet and toilet frame because of the over-double time? It seems the whole way the Descriptor level chart is worded is designed to exclude the issue of 'reasonable time' on this and other descriptors! Thanks.
The "reliability" Regulations were added after the main Descriptors were published which is why they appear not to fit, however, they apply to all Activities and Descriptors so your assessor's statement was incorrect.
That said, without additional issues, it is difficult to see how you would score higher, even with the reliability criteria applied the starting point is always the requirement of the Descriptor.
