Try to be precise and avoid putting 'it varies'. For example it may be better to put '12 minutes' instead of '10 to 15 minutes'. Keep a daily diary of care needs that you can refer back to when filling in the form. It should include all tasks where help was needed. This will help build up a picture of the frequency with which you need help and the kind of help you need.
Many people manage on their own but only with great effort.
For example, you may be able to get dressed but it takes you a long time and exhausts you, or you may not bother at all as it is too tiring. Remember to include this type of information when filling in the form. Ask someone who knows you well to look at your answers to check if you have missed out anything important. It is important to mention all the medication you are taking, as well as how you take it, i.e. by inhaler, spacer or nebuliser. If your chemist uses a computer system for prescriptions, ask for a printout to send with your form.
