After having a read and clicking on links for more information about elegibility, how to apply etc you may want to contact Age UK for further help in filling out the form.

Hi It is not what condition you have or what medication you take - It's how your condition and you medication affects your daily life.. For example help you deed with personal care, of help getting around. good luck that's the best I can say..

CAB helped me fill all the application forms and it was decided that I qualified. They were extremely helpful and I suggest you approach your local office and have a chat.
