Activity 1: Preparing food

35.

The First-tier Tribunal erred in law—

(i)

in failing adequately to consider and make a finding as to whether the claimant needs prompting to be able to prepare or cook a simple meal;

(ii)

in adopting the HCP’s flawed findings as to preparing food;

(iii)

in failing adequately to explain why the First-tier Tribunal found that the claimant had “for the majority of time, the … mental ability to prepare and cook a simple meal for one”;

(iv)

in failing to make findings as to whether the claimant can prepare and cook a simple meal unaided repeatedly, to an acceptable standard and within a reasonable time period; and

(v)

in applying the wrong test and failing to make findings as to whether the claimant can do as mentioned in subparagraph (iv) above on over 50% of the days (rather than “for the/a majority of the time” and "for more than 50% of the time”).
