Hi caprimick I'm sorry but as Robbie138 has pointed out, you are on the Fibromyalgia Forum. Here is link to mental health forum on HU healthunlocked.com/anxietys... and you will also find MIND very helpful for your son. mind.org.uk/

I wish you good luck.

Peace, luv n light

Hi I so hope you can find the right person for the help you need....Your or your son must have a contact in either Social Services or MIND who will give you support and advise...just don't get too stressed it is a lengthy form but Citizens Advice would help you fill them out...

Take care x

Maybe do what I did and find yourself a Welfare rights officer near you,they will help you enormously,find them on Google plus Youngstown!! Good luck

Hi caprimick

I am so genuinely sorry to read this my friend and I sincerely hope that you can get it all sorted. if you cannot find anyone to help it may be worth contacting the FMA UK benefits adviser (Janet) and asking for some advice?

I have pasted you a link to her contact page below:

fmauk.org/rc-contact-list-s...

I want to sincerely wish you and your son all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for both of you

Ken
