Pip

Oh I know! I am about to ask a very long winded question on a new post , so if you are about, maybe you could advise, help. Thank you.

Thank you. When I did my sons last tribunal he was working full time in a different job that he does now. The judge awarded his points back, 4 points each communication and engage face to face. I'm now doing his second tribunal appeal. He works 12 hour shifts on a 4 off and 4 on basis. They are not set days, some weeks it works out he's 4 days off work and 3 days at work in one full week. Also he has holidays throughout the year. He has 2 weeks off over Xmas and he has 17 days off throughout the year. I think dwp and health assessor have stopped his award with him working 12 hour shifts but they have not actually said this. They have just said a big paragraph of what is required for each of the levels of help. And they have finished off with that my son has the ability to carry out the daily living activities used to assess eligibility for Pip to an acceptable standard and for the majority of days. They have never put anything like this before. So I am assuming its because of his working hours. Do they take into consideration his holidays as it seems they have not . I have worked it out that he is off work more than he is at work in a full year. He also has a vast amount of support at work from his supervisor, one colleague and management which has enabled him to stay in work for the last 5 years. Previous jobs have not been as supportive and he's ended up getting the sack or walking out. I've put all this on the tribunal appeal. He does not just go into work , do his shift, then home. Somedays the difficulties he has on a daily basis , is far greater than on other days, for a whole range of reasons , which I have also told the tribunal. I was just unsure about the 50% of the time etc that he needs for Pip. Any thoughts at all? Plus life outside of work he needs support. His sister also goes to his work place if he is struggling with certain things. It can also work out, that if he has his normal 4 days off then books 4 days holiday, then he's due his next normal 4 days off which means he has 12 days off in total. Thanks in advance, I hope I havnt confused you!

Aww. OK. Yes, I understand what you mean. Thanks anyway. Will they reply to this post to save me posting again or do I need to post it? Regards
