Although the descriptor for bending & kneeling has been removed it is possible to refer to difficulties with these actions in other descriptors eg reaching, picking up & moving things etc etc.
Likewise although the descriptor for memory & concentration has been removed it can be included in communicating with people, other people communicating with you, getting around safely, & as appropriate with the remaining other descriptors in part 2.
The important point is to include as much information as possible about how the illness &/or disability affects your daily life & giving clear examples including for example how walking/mobilising is affected by weather conditions, uneven &/or sloping ground etc etc. Just because a descriptor has been removed or modified it doesn't mean claimants cannot continue to include the information as relbefore. It is up to us as claimants to make the forms & descriptors work for us.
