Judicial Summary

This appeal examines Activity 4 and decides that it is testing the ability of the claimant to perform the mechanical functions of washing and bathing, which are getting in and out of a bath or shower and being able to wash their body parts as set out in the descriptors. It is not a test as to the quality of washing, but the physical and mental ability to do so. It also explains the importance of the First-tier Tribunal assessing the evidence as a whole, using evidence about one activity to inform its views as to the ability to accomplish other activities.
