Do you have access to a laptop or computer with a printer? What I usually do when completing the form is type out my answers and then print them off. I just find this so much easier than writing on the form. You will need to make sure you put your name and NI number on everything you send.

You will need to make sure you put which question the answer refers to. Then on the form you can just put "see additional pages"

If not do you have someone that can write it for you? maybe a family member or a friend?

Failing those then have a look at this link to see what advice agency is local to you.

Please also make sure that you treat it as a new claim and give as much relevant information as possible. Even if there's been non changes in your conditions, please do not just write no change and no further information.

You should also include a couple of real world incidents of exactly what happened the last time you attempted each descriptor that applies to you. Adding detailed information such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were.

You can ask for extra time to return the form and they will give an extra couple of weeks. There are extremely long delays with review decisions so you could be waiting anything up to about a year for a decision. Your existing award will continue until a decision is made on the review.
