Hi boggle10
i am assuming you need help with either esa or pip forms.You can get help filling these out from the CAB or age U.K. Just contact your nearest and make an appointment.They will talk you through it and let you know what evidence you need to include with it.
Remember keep a copy of everything that is sent and always send it signed for so that you have proof.Good luck.

Been there over the past 5 years and never actually managed to get an appointment with either within a reasonable time frame.
Alternatively there is plenty of good advice on the web including this site and the CAB one.

Hello!
Which form are you referring to? If you are talking about the DLA forms then contact your local CAB agency to make a appointment. Or you could use one of those published guides online to help you answer the questions properly too. A social worker can also be a good source of information and assistance regarding the paperwork required. Remember to have enough evidence to support your claim form. Make photocopies of everything. Read the questions carefully. We have a wealth of knowledge and information about benefits forms so you have come to the right place for information and advice. What condition(s) does your child have? What does she or he find hard to do? How old is she or he now?
Best of luck!! -
I'm using to cab web site. But I'm actually finding it hard to describe how I feel and the day to day way I have to live

Disability Rights UK site gives a draft diary that gives an outline of what a disabled person's day might be like. Good idea to include a 7 day diary with your application form.

Hi boggle10
i know in some areas you can get someone from Age U.K.to help with your forms.If you can contact your local branch office they will be able to tell you more.You don’t have to be a pensioner to ask for help but I have no idea what the lower age limit is.Good luck.

Do you have any One Stop Shops nearby? I am lucky enough to have my wife work in one and she knew of a lovely man who dealt with all PIP/DLA/ESA paperwork with you. Maybe go an enquire if there is anyone similar there than you can see?

What I can say is that with three face to face assessments for PIP in the past 5 years and after joining this website, I now realise that the way I filled out the forms, how I presented my evidence and how I handled the assessments was all wrong and it did me no favours. Too late for me now as they took all of the PIP award off me (High Mobility & Care) and being 70, too old to make a new claim.
Make sure you get advice from websites like this one and never think you know what to do, make sure you know what to do.

I used the c.a.b. questions and help with answers. But I'm worried sick, I need tipex because I think I went into too much detail.

Disability Rights UK site also has a guide to PIP applications including a draft diary you can adapt. Good idea to include a 7 day diary with your application.
