Find support with form filling and assessments
It can help to have someone with you during the assessment. This could be the person you care for, a friend or family member.
You could also use an advocate who can speak up for you during your assessment.
They can help you to understand the process, talk about how you feel, make decisions and stand up for your rights.
They can help you fill in forms and sit with you in meetings and assessments.
If we think you need an advocate, we will help you find one from our recommended list of providers.
