    Yes i suffer from depression and BPD and passed first time (support group).

    I too was worried because of all the horror stries i'd heard but in reality it wasn't nearly as bad as I imagined it would be.

    My wife got a report from her support worker, (not sure of correct title). Reading the report from her alone should have been enough and it was.

    She was put on the support group.

    My advice is not to walk in empty handed.

    I was lucky I got transferred from Income Support to ESA with no medical. Yet no somebody worse than me that has been refused. I put a lot of detail in the questionnaire. Never had supporting medical letters either.
