I'm applying for UC for my adult disabled daughter. She has an EHCP and a Social Care Plan. When completing the UC50 form, should I quote/reference these? There are naturally some sections that are more positive about her but there are also sections which are helpful in that they clearly highlight her difficulties and her support needs.
Yes I would reference any supporting documents as you complete the form.
You can reference the same document more than once through out the document. I always quote the document, the page number and the paragraph that I am referring to.
You can also write a supporting document as to what support you give to your daughter and why, the why part is the important part. Quite often I come across a supporting letter stating what support they give to a claimant but it does not state why they give the support.
