Incapacity benefits and Disabled Living Allowance

Tweet

I have been told by various people at my university that due to my current health I am in need of applying for these so I can fund my part time studies. However everyone has said to me that it is going to be really hard and complicated and that the forms are really difficult. Also due to having social anxiety I am really not the kind of person who is going to feel comfortable talking to lots of different people who are out to make me look bad about myself. Has anyone here gone throug this process before and can help a confused 19 year old? I have this summer off and I am supposed to be resting so I can feel better again before term starts this October I am not sure whether to just carry on with full time and risk feeling even more ill or transfer to part time but have to go through all of the supposed hassle I am going to get Is it really that bad?
