Hi Hidden here's wishing you a warm welcome to the group. Yes the forms can be a mindfield. Do you not have anyone at all who can help you fill them out. A partner, close friend or family member? Have you tried calling your local CAB. Try to remember they are interested in how your illness effects you not what illnesses you have.

Try to fill in the forms a little at a time rather than altogether. Think carefully before you put your answers on the form. My hubby had to do mine. But we found it easier by getting a note pad and going through each question and putting the answers on the note pad. Then when we were satisfied with our answers we just transfered them to the forms.

I see you have left your post unlocked. most members prefer to answer locked posts. This keeps what you and they post off the net and private only to this community. If you wish to lock your post this link will show you how.

Good luck and I hope you can find someone to go through the forms with you. xx

For each set of questions the DWP has to assess if you can do it reliably. This means can you do it safely, repeatedly and in a reSonable timescale which is no longer than twice as long as a non disabled person. You need the points scores sheets to refer to as you answer the questions so you can work out which score covers your situation. You will find them by googling them.

Not what you're looking for?
