Judicial Summary
This decision is about whether the First-tier Tribunal (FTT) erred in law in: (i) ruling out rest before an activity is undertaken in deciding whether the descriptors under an activity were completed within a reasonable time period (per regulation 4(2A)(d) of the PIP Regs); and (ii) failing to provide adequate reasons for whether the appellant could satisfy relevant descriptors repeatedly (per regulation 4(2A)(c) of the PIP Regs). The Upper Tribunal decides that resting before carrying out an activity is not relevant to whether the descriptors under the activity can be completed within a reasonable time period. However, the FTT erred in law in not providing an adequate explanation for why the need it apparently found the appellant had to rest after carrying out PIP activities and before repeating them did not assist the appellant under regulation 4(2A)(c).
