After sending in you claim form you could be awarded either the lower or higher rate, the questionnaire form is very long and quite confusing so if you

are in a position where you feel that you can't fill it out for your own piece of mind make an appointment at your local Citizen Advice Bureaux (CAB) they have trained staff there to help you in your hour of need.
