It is important for you to know that this is a safe place and that you are among friends here. Whatever experiences you have had or are going through, whatever your troubles are or have been, you will almost certainly find people here who have experienced something similar, who care and can empathise with you. Don't hesitate to talk to us, to ask us questions or to tell us anything about yourself. The better we get to know you and how you feel, the more easily we may find ways to help you.
Warmest best wishes to you,

me when I ask for help they just showed me and left I got up and left
Good Afternoon it’s great to meet you today.
I’m very very sorry to hear about your current situation.
Please please let me know if I can help you in anyway???
Yes things become very very hard when you don’t have much control on one side of your body!!!!!!
My Stroke took out my left side, unfortunately that is my dominant side.
So writing,eating,walking,
movement all cause me “sever pain”
Sorry for going on & on!!!!!!
Please please let me know if there’s anything that I can help you with?????
So sorry to hear that things are difficult at the moment, it sounds like you've had some really frustrating experiences. I wonder if you've considered contacting Citizens Advice for help with your benefits and forms? You can find your local CAB by searching on their website, and they're a really valuable support service that may be able to help you.
Do you have a diagnosis for the cause of your pain? It might help me put you in touch with others with similar conditions.
I am so very sorry - and yes, angry too - to read of the way you have been treated. I only wish I was more surprised. However, it sounds as if you could use some practical, hands-on help where completing these forms are concerned and I wonder if you've contacted your local Citizens Advice Bureau? You can find details of the one nearest to you here https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/ There is an orange coloured rectangle on the right of the page and all you should need to do is to type your postcode into the box there. I think there is a better chance of them either providing the 'hands on' help or of pointing you in the direction of someone who can.
Is this any help? Don't hesitate to get back to me but, again, don't rush or stress yourself in the process.
Warmest best wishes,
Richard
Have you applied for PIP ?
CR
have you spoken to CAB about the forms?
maybe your GP can also help
I have sent some links to your board
CR

Hopefully you will find an advocate that can help you, other people have mentioned CAB but in my experience they are so over stretched dealing with a back log of work it can take a good while to even get an initial appointment. Have a look at the link below to see if they can guide you to some local help.
Love and best wishes X Rosie
