Notes:	Descriptors are conclusions and reasons must be given for choosing a particular one - medical evidence is not the only relevant evidence For sitting, an EMO observing a claimant sitting comfortably for 20 minutes is not inconsistent with finding that she could sit for only 30 minutes without having to move (7 points) and it was not recorded whether the claimant was sitting in a chair of the prescribed type The guidance for EMOs on lifting and carrying is approved
