Ask Paper Armour

A safe place to ask a general paperwork question without sending private documents.

You can ask a general question about SEND, EHCPs, IDPs, DLA, PIP, Universal Credit, school letters, complaints, meetings, evidence, deadlines or the paperwork confusion around it all.

This is for broad questions Paper Armour may answer by email, in Still Fighting, or later as an anonymised public guide. It is not free casework, not legal advice, not benefits advice, not emergency support and not a document review.

Before you ask

No private case details, no documents, no names.

The safer the question is, the more useful it can be for you and for other families facing the same fog.

Do not include names.
Do not include school, council or professional names.
Do not include dates of birth.
Do not paste private letters, reports or medical details.
Do not upload documents.
Keep it general.
If you need personalised help, use the Initial Support Review.

Millie reads submitted questions when she can. Not every question can be answered, and this is not a document review. If your situation has a deadline, or you need help with your actual paperwork, start with an Initial Support Review instead.
