Cruella

Social Support is about providing the claimant with an understanding of what is happening in an interaction between them and another person, for example; someone with ASD may not be able to understand the nuances of a conversation, whether someone is being sarcastic or making a joke.

Your description of your problems does not lend itself to the definition of Social Support unless the person providing the Support is able to help you overcome your fear of contamination but even then you would need to show that they have a specific insight into your issues. Can you do this?

Forgive me but we were talking about this before I took a break from the forum two weeks ago, I realise that it is a manifestation of your conditions but you need to put something down on the form and move on to the next question or even better, get the form returned. Those assessing you will only have so much patience and you risk the matter being taken out of your hands.
