Have just completed mine at the weekend ..... i found it a bit time consuming to say the least , took two days kept picking it up an putting back down lol Read it through carefully taking your time love , think about the question then think how that question effects you then write it down exactly how it effects you . good luck : D

good luck save a copy of this.sorry.not helped.

if you go on to the benifit site on here there is a link that will send emails for 9 days describing how to help you fill in your form or if you send me your email i will forward them to you, i havent filled mine in yet but have read the emails so on a quiet day i will sit with laptop and form and take as much i can from the benit emails what i sent x paula

Hi Lally, from experience you have to put down every single ailment you have and explain in details how it affects your everyday life, no matter how small you think it is. Its not sufficient to just put down incontinence, you need to give step by step information even down to how many times a day you change your knickers to put it crudely!!.

Have recently sent you a PM on this subject, not sure if you have seen it yet?

Take care, Angela xx

remember its the help you need NOT the help you get!

and answer questions as if its on your really bad day, as you then have to state how many times a week you like that anyway so you arent giving wrong info xx
