Good afternoon peoples
I am on the hunt for CDLA/3360/1995 (cooking test, concentration) can anyone point me in the right direction or send me a copy.
many thanks
The decision is available on the CPAG information system.
It’s too long to re-post in full here, but mostly concerns other issues. The paragraph you need is this:
14. Fourth, for much the same reason, the appeal, tribunal’s conclusion on the lower rate of care component and cooking is also undermined. If one result of the physical disablement of deafness was an impairment of concentration or a liability to wander off, there seems no reason why that inability should not form part of the physical or mental disablement to be taken into account under section 72(l)(a)(ii) of the Social Security Contributions and Benefits Act 1992. If that inability prevented the claimant from carrying out the whole of the sequence of tasks necessary to preparing and cooking a main meal for herself, the conditions in section 72(l)(a)(ii) would be met. The appeal tribunal did not adequately explain why it rejected that conclusion.
