Hi @Debster1
There is no longer a ‘register’ of disabled people so you don’t need to register.
There is a useful section about becoming disabled later in life, which should help you. Have a read and come back and ask us questions!
Best wishes, Alex

Hello Debster and welcome
It is important to understand the points system, descriptors and criteria for an award. A good place to stert is the B&W self test
