to help you get the result you want when applying for welfare support<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>i have found during my time helping members navigate the welfare system that there are particular phrases that the department of work and pensions (dwp) look for in applications.<\/p>\n

these words and phrases are what the dwp themselves use to decide whether to award benefits, so by including them in your application, you\u2019ll be speaking in their language – giving you a better chance of success.<\/p>\n

if you feel like these key words may help describe your situation then please us them wherever you feel appropriate when completing your application, but make sure you understand what they mean as you may be questioned about it later.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

frequent<\/strong> is defined as \u2018several times, not just once or twice in a 24-hour period.\u2019 for example: \u201ci frequently experience breathlessness or light headedness when going up and down the stairs.\u201d
\ncontinual does not mean \u2018non-stop\u2019, but simply \u2018less than continuous\u2019. for example: \u201ci\u2019m continually breathless when i\u2019m up and about making a meal, but fine whilst eating it.\u201d<\/p>\n

supervision\/supervised<\/strong> can mean precautionary \u2018(in case of\u2019 or \u2018safely\u2019) or anticipatory (in case something may happen; for example, blackout trip and fall). it doesn\u2019t mean that someone eliminates the danger; merely that their presence reduces the risk of harm.<\/p>\n

night\/day time<\/strong> is defined by when the \u2018house\u2019 shuts down. when the last adult goes to bed night time starts, and when the first adult wakes day time begins.<\/p>\n

prolonged<\/strong> is defined as at least 20 minutes. for example: \u201ci experience prolonged palpitations or light headedness (dizziness)\u201d<\/p>\n

repeated<\/strong> means more than once during a period of 24 hours<\/p>\n

significant<\/strong> refers to length of time, not the importance of the occurrence. experiencing symptoms for a \u2018significant\u2019 period of time, for example, means an hour or thereabouts and can consist of one or a number of periods during the day.<\/p>\n

consistently<\/strong> refers to whether you can always carry out a particular activity. for example: \u201ci cannot consistently bath myself without the aid of supervision.\u201d<\/p>\n

reliably<\/strong> refers to whether you can reliably complete an activity. for example: \u201cican walk to the shop but i cannot always reliably walk back.\u201d in this case, you may be able to get to the shop one day but because of your symptoms you cannot get back \u2013 even if on the previous day you could.<\/p>\n

or: \u201ctoday i could cook my breakfast but due to symptoms suffered throughout the day, come dinner time i couldn\u2019t cook my dinner. therefore, i couldn\u2019t cook reliably and safely.\u201d<\/p>\n
