The fact that I need someone to help me apply for my access to work grant is probably proof I need an access to work grant

@BethanyBlack Today I started helping a friend fill in a PIP application form. 40 pages of unintuitive claptrap. He had to give up with the online version and order a paper one. This is an intelligent person, an ex programmer who ended up in security. Between us we're struggling with the form. With any sort of learning disabilities I doubt it would get past the second page.

We're not meant to be able to complete them.

@RosePuckey absolutely, I’m on week 2 of trying to apply for PIP a second time having given up the first time, and so far they haven’t even sent us the forms

@BethanyBlack I made the call to DWP and explained that the save and continue function on certain parts of the online application allow no access to the saved bits. The poor sod had no idea about saved data or how it was handled, let alone if the form could be reset so he sent a printed out version in the post. I started filling it in (friend can no longer hold a pen) and made 3 mistakes by the end of page 2. I hope you manage to get through yours by the deadline.
