So sorry if this is in the wrong place. I have been trying to fill the UC50 form out for weeks now (it's already late :S )

I have been looking through the guide and I'm stuck with how to answer the questions. For example, I can set an alarm clock and washing machine and all of the other provided examples. I can actually drive (it took me 3 years to learn almost 10 years ago when I was functioning a lot better) but I'm very slow to learn things due to ADHD, PMDD and trauma.

I'm thinking of ticking it varies for simple tasks and no for more complex. I'm not sure if this is right or not, could anybody give further examples of the two tasks?

This is what I have written so far
"Due to my ADHD and other conditions, I have issues with learning both kinds of tasks. This is much worse during the luteal phase of my menstrual cycle because of the increased brain fog. Because of my conditions, it affects how I learn tasks at the time and takes me much longer to pick it up than others, this is likely due to having issues with focusing and understanding what is being shown/said. I will almost always have forgotten how to do this later on if required to do it again, especially with more complex tasks. Despite trying to do this again independently there would likely be mistakes and due to anxiety, I struggle to ask somebody to show me again despite needing it. This has gotten me in trouble with work related processes before from getting it wrong on more than one occasion. "

Is this an appropriate answer for the question or do I need to add more info? I can't seem to further elaborate. This is making me so anxious :/

Thank you in advance :)

Hi Har4lo

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 answer as we do not know you but what you have written sounds good, have you tried using chatbot to help you with your answer, I spoke to a client this week who used chatbot said it took him time to complete the form as he used the free version and you only have so much free data each day, but he was quite pleased with the outcome, so we will wait for the outcome.
