Reassment

Im kind of not in a good place. Covid lack of support services and I know I'm over due a reassessment. I need support services when the paper work is to be filled. This is due to evidenced needed by professions dated with 3 months.
This is due to accessing records for example police reports medical ect which need authorised personals to access the in a limited time. Which to emotional impact and way it impacts on my life. I would not be able to access these in time. Physically or mentally as reassessments deteriate my mental health and physically. Also covid limits services available due to being house bout due to severe agrophobia

Sorry to hear your daughter lost her support. I hope your both keeping safe this covid reminds us all. We care all spend 2 minuets of kindness. and 10 mins of understanding and time
Happy new year, hope you're okay today.
I'm sorry to read that this is causing you stress, it doesn't sound easy to go through and I hope the advice given above by Poppy has been helpful for you. The benefits system can be confusing at the best of times, I totally get where you're coming from when you say it can feel like a college course.
Are you currently able to effectively manage your mental health? You mentioned that the whole situation is taking it's toll on you and I'm hopeful that you have support in place or coping techniques to relieve the poor mental health in the moments where it impacts you most.
If you need help with things like filling in the application, it might be a good idea to ask your GP about where you might find this help, I know others have had success in doing that. You could also ask a loved one or trusted support worker to assist you in filling out the form if you felt this was required.
If you want a friendly chat about your situation and to discuss possible steps forward, you might find contacting Scope's helpline useful. I know you said you struggle with phone conversations and that's fine, much like with the community you can always get in touch with them through typing via email.
