I know the CSO does not gather individual information. However, there are so many different forms and some people with disabilities cannot fill them out, whether it is because of a mental health issue or schizoaffective disorder. They cannot even get a bank statement, if it came to that. There is such a big gap. Someone needs to sit over what these forms are asking people to do. It seems crazy.
