How could the doctor know if they needed help with

preparing or eating food
washing, bathing and using the toilet
dressing and undressing
reading and communicating
managing your medicines or treatments
making decisions about money
engaging with other people

Claimants don't get benefit because they are disabled, they get benefit for the (negative) effects the disability has.
