Hi
I'm in the middle of sorting out for a mandatory reconsideration with help from the parkinsons uk help line
and a little confused with this descriptor
im probably reading it wrong but if you fall under a,b,c or d and you don't use an aid like an electric wheelchair,
with an electric wheelchair you would be able to achieve them and there for you would fall under "e"
hope this makes sense
can anyone help !!
