I do strongly recommend that you get assistance with your claim from someone who is familiar with the "system ". Look for a local branch of Mind, or Disability Advice Bureau or Citizen's Advice Bureau. Ask their advisor for help. I'm afraid the system is still biased against those with mental health problems and it is a big help to have an experienced person fighting in your corner. They don't make any statement about the claimant that isn't true but they know the best phrases to use and how to present the facts effectively. Good luck!

Are you seeing a therapist who could help you with the depression-I found the right therapist is a God send.

Mental health can teach you D.B.T it saved my life I have BPD, Major depresive disorders,PTSD,Epilepsy & Fibromyalgia . It will give you the tools to save yourself and it 100% works. But you have to put in what you get out no one can do it for you.

Have you tried to file for Social Security Disability Income? I live in Illinois but don't know how it works in other states. Keep in touch with this group as there always seems to be someone ready to listen. Many hugs

Would it be worth getting in touch with the Citizens Advice Bureau?
