Re Q8 Getting around Safely. Do we only answer this question if we have a visual problem?
Because the question also asks if you can get around safely on your own / around a place you haven't been to before.
I am asking because there are many things beside eyesight that may cause difficulties with Getting around Safely.

Questions 1-10 only consider physical issues, 11-17 only mental health or cognitive problems.
Question 8 is asking about the sensory problems you have "navigating" in familiar and unfamiliar places, it is primarily about sight problems but you might be able to argue that hearing problems would also have an impact as well.

Re Descriptor 18 Eating or drinking
Would reluctance to eat (needing specially prepared foods) because of severe IBS be something that comes under this question?

When I want to search for other people's questions (to see if it's been asked before) - can you tell me please how I go about it. I've used the general search and it comes up with "the latest benefits news" type reports.
Many thanks.
Hope you are keeping ok.

You can argue that it does but I think you will struggle to meet the requirement which refers to a "severe disorder of mood or behaviour".

The search, top right of the page, does search the forum but it also searches the site as well, when the results are produced if you tick "Kunena Forum" and then search again it will limit the results to just posts in the forum.
