Hi
This week my husband was diagnosed with Major depressive disorder and has a 90% chance of developing bipolar.
Over the last few years I have been careing more and more for Martin, especially at night time and it has been suggested that he could apply for DLA only the care componment as he plays badminton at least 3 times a week! but was not too sure if it would be accepable as it is a mental illness and is only for the care componment. Has anybody been granted DLA for a mental illness and was it hard for the claim to be accepted.
Thank you
Jan
