If you don't have access to a computer at home you can use computers at your local library for free, come into our offices in Honiton or Exmouth and use one of our computers, or consider asking a friend or relative with a computer to help you.

You can choose to complete a paper application form but you must answer all the questions or the form will be returned to you.  Please call us to request a paper application form.
