If you email
Info@fibroaction.org heading benefits
Mdaisy can send you out the work and benefits guides to help you fill in the forms
This is an area I don't know much about, and if I had to fill in these forms, I would head off to Citizen's Advice Bureau and ask for their help - they are very good, but as you can imagine, they have been inundated with requests for assistance with these forms.
Many of our members are very up-to-date with this,and I'm sure will be able to offer you some help and advice before the day is out.
Very best of luck with your application - I am sure you will be successful, but if not, appeal, appeal, appeal!
As VG says please do email me, if you haven't done so already as I can send you the Benefits & Work Guides for free which may be of help. Please also visit our website for further information regarding benefits
Do you know if you have a branch of the charity MIND near to you at all? When I was poorly I used this voluntary support Advocacy service to help fill in the forms to limit the stress that was exacerbating my Fibromyalgia. Not all areas have this service but it may be worth your while looking into it
Here is a thread about Advocacy with links to the MIND website
