I did think that might be the case. I struggle so much with these forms, mainly in getting across the issues I have, same with the pip form, I really struggled to convey the issues. Due to some mental health issues I rush the form because I "have" to get it back as soon as possible, even though you get a month or whatever it is to do it, I try doing it there and then.

Good advice, going to try REALLY hard to do maybe a section a day or something as I really do want to get the issues across. I always end up in the LCW group which actually makes me feel a lot worse

Getting evidence is so hard, again keeping everything in one thread. I had the same issue with my pip application.

I wanted the councillor that I saw to be able to provide a backup to what I was writing down and the centre said they can't supply anything, just the notes from the sessions which was pointless as notes are only a summary and even then missed out or it wasn't included some of the things we spoke about and even if it was there it was like one line or something. I told them what I needed it for and nothing. How are you supposed to get evidence if they won't give it to you?

Thank you Poppy, appreciate your comments. I will do that then

Again sorry to ask this but really trying to keep this in one thread so I do apologise but will create a new thread if necessary. This question is really just out of curiosity after look at the form and the online sites showing LCW points etc.

So am I correct in thinking that if you take the "It varies" box on any question thats 0 points?

Ah right its just that all the sites I looked at which show points and descriptors, none of them have anything for the "It varies" option so assumed it meant no points. Thanks for your advice.

Thank you Poppy, I remember doing the same form (but for ESA) years ago and think I ticked it varies on a few things that really I should have ticked I can't do that but back then had no support or help with filling the form in or anything so just muddled through. So thankful for this forum

I think for me the main problem is articulating my responses on the form into something that doesn't sound like its a story from Jackanory (for those old enough to remember). ie I went to xx then I did this xx but this happened and xx 

I was trying to see if there was any real world examples of how people wrote their responses, any question doesn't matter which to see how they formatted it and explained their issues but couldn't find any.
