Hello @rogerdodger Pleased to meet you welcome.
Thank you for joining and sharing.
I am sorry to hear that you having problems.

I have mental health issues myself. No how hard this is.

Have a look at our mental health support and advice may be useful to look at. On our website and please take some time to look around. We are friendly.
As for problems with forms and benefits I use CAB for form filling in. Very informative, helpful.
