    Hi @mmm75 I am really sorry to hear this. It definitely sounds like you have a lot on! Citizens Advice is able to help with filling in forms so this might be something to look into. Also, if you are ever feeling down and want to talk to someone about it then please contact Samaritans or MIND. I hope the community can support you through this. Have a lovely day :)
