I don't think there are any- there are loads of conditions and illnesses that are never mentioned in CDs. It's how the condition affects them rather the the conditon itself. I succesfully rep'd a psoriasis sufferer (similar to Eczema) many moons ago. The appeal was predicated on the combination of fastidous application and removal of topical creams combined with other factors that made this very difficult for the client to do. Eg, centre of back very difficult to apply creams to and client had restricted reach. Does your client have to apply creams? Do they have to wash them off after a prescribed time? Do they have to have frequent baths containing any treatment? Does said treatment make the bath slippy and therefore dangerous to get out of? Does the act of applying a treatment in an area cause the skin in another area to crack and bleed,eg through bending or twisting? If you have got loads of 'No's to these questions you may be on to a loser. Decision's I'd go for are CDLA/12315/96 (frequent does not mean continual- bit basic I'm afraid), and CA/140/1985 (spells without attention doesn't mean attention is NOT required throughout day). Is there no DLA at the moment, or are you going for supersession?
