Hi make an appointment with the CAB and see them in person, they will know of all the benefits you will be able to apply for, doing it yourself with a BI will be really difficult. No matter how capable you feel the CAB will be the best people to fill out your applications and follow up with potential appeals. They know the score and know what to write in a language that the assessors understand.

Hi. Try the Scope helpline on 0808 800 3333. They were very helpful to me. Good luck!
