Carol, and others filling out these kind of forms: the best thing here is to make an appointment with the disability advisor at your local CAB and get them to help you find the right words for your answers. They know exactly what you should write, and more importantly what you shouldn't say. It is very hard knowing how to write the answers when your condition fluctuates, but again the CAB people really do know their stuff and will help you get what you are entitled to. One piece of advice I got for filling in that kind of form was to disregard the space they gave you for answering, and just write down anything and everything, around the edges of the pages if necessary. Of course even this can go wrong, if you inadvertently write something that the decision maker interprets as meaning that you can actually cope.
