    Mental health is an illness and why should ppl with mental health not be allowed to have children then? that would be discrimination would it not! Also just because there is history of it does not mean it will be passed down. Hang on my dad died of cancer so I best not have any more kids incase they get cancer hey. What a ridiculous view you have. Just because someone has mental illness does not mean they should be denied the right to be a parent, the same rights everyone has.

    Wow, you lot have been busy debating in my absence! Thanks to all who offered advice :)

    I'm going to phone them in a bit, go through the letter that arrived this morning, pick up on all the facts they have got very wrong and ask for the claim to be looked at again. If they still say no after that then I guess it's appeal time, and I'm prepared to take it all the way.

    Seriously don't need the stress of all this at the moment with the threat of going blind hanging over me, how they can say I don't even need anyone to guide me when I'm having my eyes lasered to oblivion every week and can't see for days on end is beyond logic.... or maybe it's just me!

    After reading several people on here go on and on about it I thought it would be wise to record the visiting doctor's examination on my phone, good move or not? I think I got an hour of it, he was here for ages grinding me down with question after question when my nerve pain medication makes me groggy :( Would a transcript of that be of any relevance in an appeal? I guess it depends on what he wrote down and how it differs to what really happened.

    If somebody has got bad mental health issues then yes they should be denied the chance to parent unless they can do so soundly with no risk to the child,

    But as for having lots of mental health issues in the family but not yourself I wouldn't have wanted to have a child knowing that's a good possibility for them too. There are other options of course. As for other things like other disabilities then it depends on wether or not you thnk you can still have a high quality of life despite the disability if the child it and if so then there's nothing wrong with that at all,

    If his report doesn't match up with what was said in the examination then yes it would be good evidence in a tribunal, I'd have done the same too.

    And yeah we did kinda go off on a bit of a tangent there lol.
