PIP Form Fear

Hello -
I am thinking about starting a PIP claim in the next few weeks. Everything I read online is about filling in a form and posting it back to the DWP.
This really worries me because my hand writing is really, really poor - I have very poor control of my hands - but I am really articulate in typed text.
Are their other ways to fill it in?
The issue is that there are things I need to say on the form that are too embarrassing to ask other people to write for me - so I am kind of stuck if I have to write it by hand.
Please let me know your experience.
Thanks in advance.

Okay this is super reassuring then - if I can do it online I will feel like I can do a good job of it. If I had to write by hand I might as well not even bother apply as it will just look like scribble on the page.
Last option would be to ask my therapist to fill it out for me, but even then, there is stuff I don't want to admit to her its too embarrassing...0 -
Some people are offered the online application but not everyone. If you're not offered this then you can type everything yourself and just write on the form "see addditional sheets for information." Make sure you put which question it refers to when typing it though otherwise it will get confusing.Also make sure that you put your name and NI number on everything you send.1
