I'm really struggling with the AR1 form I received this month. 73 different sections to fill out! I keep getting too overwhelmed. My question is does anyone have any guidance on section 67?
Activity 9 Mixing with other people 67 asks What would you do if these people were not there to help you?
Apart from the obvious of having to consider life without my support network (thanks DWP) I also have no idea how to frame my response. Anyone had any luck wrapping their head round this one? Thanks

Hi NicW

Welcome to the forum.

You might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is; www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/guides-for-claimants/faq/forum.

We cannot answer your question as we do not know you, but this activity considers your ability to engage socially, which means to interact with others in a contextually and socially appropriate manner, understand body language and establish relationships; all these matters must be considered.

The activity should consider your ability to engage with people generally, not just with people you know well or with your own age group or gender. It should consider your ability to engage one to one or with a small group, rather than with a crowd

One descriptor deals with whether or not you need social support to be able to engage with other people.

Another descriptor refers to an inability to engage with other people due to such engagement causing ‘overwhelming psychological distress’. This is defined as distress related to an enduring mental health condition or an intellectual or cognitive impairment.
