You have to understand this form was deisgned for anyone with a disability, so they could have ahd a stroke, born disabled in some way, blind, been in a car accident that left them disabled. Use the site mentioned above, benefits and work, its a great site, I used it and found it a great help. Remember when completing your form, its not about your illness but about what you can and can't do for yourself, can you shower ok, make a meal ok, dress youself !!

Good luck with yor claim.
