DVLA Medical questionnaire

Hi I've decided I want to learn to drive and I have Cerebral Palsy. I have applied for my provisional and they have sent me medical questionnaires to complete. I'm struggling with answering some of the questions. It asks what adaptions I need. I can't answer that for sure as I haven't had any kind of assessment. I personally feel I will need hand controls as I have issues with foot pedals and my legs. Also I will only be able to drive an automatic transmission. Do I answer how I feel is the case? As I say I haven't had any formal assessment of my driving needs/capabilities yet. I'm hoping the DVLA will send me for an assessment.
