RE: Cooking Test for Attendance Allowance
Fri 23-Jan-09 12:13 PM |
DLA only I'm afraid. There is no specific cooking test in AA. However, a person who can cook but needs help (partially sighted for instance) can aggregate that help (attention in connection with the bodily function of seeing) with any other help in order to qualify, if the total help amounts to frequent attention throughout the day.
Note, the help has to be given to a person while he is doing/trying to do something for himself. It cannot count if a task is done for a person and not in the person's presence. (the remoteness test).
