‘RANT’
I am sorry but I just have to rant about some of the decisions being made by healthcare practitioners recently – this is the second Cl I have seen in the last two weeks with a severe long term illness, whereby the Cl has been awarded 0 points.
In this recent decision the Healthcare ‘Professional’ states - ‘it is considered that a wheelchair could be obtained through the NHS Wheelchair Service if required, the use of a wheelchair would enable the person to mobilise so that they are able to engage in the labour market. If the claimant has an inability to store the wheelchair at home (which would be a problem), it would be reasonable for the wheelchair to be stored at the employer’s premises if necessary’.
Err does this not slightly defeat the object of the claimant not being able to get to work if he is unable to mobilise without a wheelchair!?
