Before you start!

You need up to 60 minutes to follow these instructions and complete the form, and you need to do it in one sitting. We strongly recommend you find a time when you won't be interrupted as this will be the fastest approach for you, and will avoid a support call afterwards.

The good news is that over 90% of people get it right first time and done within 30 minutes, but do allow yourself the hour, as it would be difficult to exaggerate how precisely these instructions need to be followed. Every letter and every space you will enter matters.
