Hello

I have a friend who has PTSD and gets disability, but I'm not sure if that is a type of anxiety or not.

Hello :-)

Yes I get it

It is not easy or I found that it was not easy , having back up letters of any kind from your Doctor or if you are under the MH team makes you case stronger or helps

Once they get your application they will want to see you , I am agoraphobic so they had to pay me a home visit

It may of course with the virus take longer for these applications to go through which you should bear in mind

There is a test that I will put you a link to direct you to that you will see based on your answers a rough idea if you will be entitled

Good Luck

Take Care x

Hello :-)

I got accepted first time , but I have lots of complex MH issues as well as physical

My MP also supported me which was good to have on side :-)

See how this goes bearing in mind there could be delays because of this virus , staff going of etc .....you could always give them a ring and ask where they are with your application , I phoned often as like you I hated the waiting and not knowing :-)

Let us know how you get on :-) x
