    Hi @LinLouRob62 welcome to the community!

    Sorry to hear what you and you son had to go through.

    Citizens Advice have a question-by-question guide to filling in an ESA50 form/filling in a PIP claim form on their website which might you might find helpful. You could also contact your local bureau should you need further support. 

    Please let us know if there is anything else that we can help you with! :)

    Hi @LinLouRob62 and welcome to the community!

    As @Ami2301 said, the CAB guide to filling in the PIP forms is very good.

    We understand how stressful it can be when the time for reassessment comes around especially if you have previously been through the appeal process.  Gathering as much evidence as you can is a good idea, and lots of people say to make sure you add in as much detail as possible to the form.

    Take your time in filling it in, it can be stressful and overwhelming so doing it in one go can feel like it is too much.  As Ami said, you can speak to the CAB to see if they could help in filling in the forms with you.

    Best of luck to you and please let us know if you have any more questions
