Being an appointee for DC - social security question

[durac]

I have forms for DC but none of the options seem to fit. Has anyone had any experience of their child turning 16 and having to fill this form?

The three options are

1. the young persons is capable of making decisions and will be managing their own benefits when they turn 16
2. the young person is capable of making decisions but will require support in managing their benefit (supper refers to a 3rd party representative but the DC must tell social security they are happy with this)
3. the young person is not capable of making decisions due to their physical or mental disability and will require an appointee to manage the benefit for them

Im stuck here as none of them really fit. DS can make decisions but maybe not the best ones, I understand that’s ok because I am here to support this not control it. However, DS isn’t able to communicate with anyone outside of the immediate family. It seems option 2 would work as I could still make the phone calls etc but there is no way DS will be able to agree to this over the phone. Options 3 seems a bit much and they come to the house which would absolutely stress DS out and he would not be able to join that meeting.

I am also mindful that if I go for option 1 due to it being ‘easier’ for now it will become a massive problem when it comes to claiming adult disability.

Anyone been through it?

Yes, DWP - but it does say online they will visit. So I don’t know why they didn’t.
