(dressing, eating, control of bodily functions, bathing and moving around the
house), as well as 6 housekeeping activities (preparing food, using appliances,
housekeeping, taking medication, shopping outside of the home, running
institutional and financial errands).
At the end of the examination (after you leave the Medical Board), the doctor sums up the findings and determine the level of assistance that the disabled person requires from another person. Based on this level of assistance, the NII claims officer decides on the rate of attendance allowance to which the disabled person is entitled.
