“some tangible impact upon a claimant’s activity and functioning during the day but not more than that …”.
Up there with RJ as excellent case law. I have been using this routinely, never had a kickback on it but on the other hand never had an overtly positive response either ....

Has anyone?  Just interested.

Aware of the case and have it favourited within Rightsnet but have never needed to use it as “reliably” usually gets me where I need to go.

I’m similarly a big fan of this decision!

In the nature of things, it’s rare to be sure how much difference it has made, but a Tribunal Judge did once thank me for bringing it to his attention, and indicated that it had changed the outcome of the appeal.
