    Is this regarding being her appointee? If so what forms have you been sent? I've never known then send out forms to become an appointee. Usually you have a visit from a DWP rep.

    If she's unable to manage her own claim because of her disabilities then yes they should be filled in. Just tell them why she's unable to manage her own claim. The appointee will then be responsible for receiving her money and using it in her best interests, filling in forms and answering questions during any assessment she may have. Letters will be addressed to the appointee.
