Sources of evidence

The claimant and / or carer should be able to provide the necessary information to enable assessment of mobility and care needs. However, if further details are needed, the Specialist Nurse or Consultant is an appropriate source of information.

The claimant may be supported by the Care Programme Approach (CPA) and hold written information outlining the level of external support required, which is a useful first source of further medical evidence.
