Hi Karen
Welcome to the forum.
You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum
Did you keep a copy of the original application form? if you did then use it as a template, especially if there has been no change in their condition, if there has been a change for the worse then explain what has got worse.
Have a look at our guides for any inspiration; benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/pip
It is perfectly OK for you to type your answers and attach them as extra pages to the form, just make sure that each page has your son's full name and NIN at the top and that they are numbered, we recommend "page X of Y" so that it is easy to see if pages are missing. Make sure you clearly mark on the form where your answers are and on the relevant page that you are answering question X.
I would not split your answers across the form and attached pages, do one or the other for each activity (not question), splitting it risks the second part of your answer not being read.
Attach the pages to the back of the form using a staple or make a hole in the top left corner and use a treasury tag, string or ribbon to the form. The pages need to be easily detached so that they can be scanned by the DWP.
