But it's the disability/sickness that causes the negative effect in their life isn't it...

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

They should have that information on record, my GP knows exactly how my disabilities / sickness effect me and what I need help with in my day to day life.

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

That doesn't make sense to me, if the person wasn't disabled or sick, then surely they wouldn't be making claims for PIP to help them in their day to day life.
