I have applied recently and was going to do it online. In the end I rang and asked for a paper copy as I thought this would suit me better. As a previous poster said, they date stamp it and you have about 6 weeks in which to complete and return it. With a paper copy I felt it would be easier to fill in a few sections at a time, return to it another day, ask advice of someone for particular sections maybe and be able to glance over the whole document. For me, I think, scrolling up and down to find what I’d said in the different sections and having to log in each time to continue would have added to the stress - it is a long form to complete in one sitting! Also they ask for copies of any appropriate consultant’s/doctor’s letters, so not sure how I would have attached these online. I’m fairly certain Age UK said they could provide a free service to assist in the filling in. I wish you all the best with completing the form and hope your application is successful.
