    This may or may not be the advice you are looking for, the only answer possibly to give at this stage is to seek advice from Citizen's Advice or maybe a Benefits advisor on here.  If you go to DWP this could be a long lengthy process as it would be questions after questions or fill in this form and then fill in this form. Where as all the advice you will need and hopefully getting all the necessary forms all in one place and they will help you to fill them in.  Sorry I cannot be anymore help, but the very best of luck on your claim or at least moving forward in life.
