Hi Jacquit

I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Unfortunately, we don't have the facility to assist you in completing forms.

It sounds as if you need some specialist welfare advice. Services are under huge stress at the moment - but see if you can get a Citizen's Advice Bureau appointment in your area advicelocal.uk/

You might also contact the Alzheimer's Society, who offer all sorts of help. www.alzheimers.org.uk/

If your condition has deteriorated from your last review, if you are able to ring the DWP, you could put in for a change of circumstances and tell the person the information over the phone. But I would speak to the alzheimers society first and see if someone could assist you with this.
