The majority of descriptors including the one mentioned above require the claimant to manage the activity without assistance.
The problem with this activity is, what is a sequential personal action?
The DWP look no further than washing and dressing but we've yet to see if tribunals will apply the descriptor more broadly.
It is quite remiss of the DWP to limit the scope of the descriptor in question, when it clearly states "personal action (which means planning, organisation, problem solving, prioritising or switching tasks)."
In my view, personal action should include all of these activities, which astonishingly in some of the descriptors in the WRAG does include assistance from another person, but bizarrely not for the support group criteria!
Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
