Gripping a steering wheel v cutlery
I’m sure I remember a case on here where the DWP conceded that the ability to grip a car steering wheel did not demonstrate the ability to hold cutlery. I can’t find it anywhere on the search or PIPinfo, can anyone point me to it please?
Many thanks
I can’t find anything either on a quick search, but did come across this ... sharing in case of use/interest:

Found some cases referenced here in a thread about driving and the cooking test:
Thanks both, interesting reading.
I have a feeling that the case I was thinking about was a Durham Welfare Rights one but maybe my memory just made it up.
It could depend if there’s a fork in the road
I may have spoon-fed you that one

I wonder if I’ve ever typed “badum, ching!” before…
Sometimes whilst driving a car you do need to break(brake) fast, so that suggests some crossover between the two activities.
