Mental health evidence & BR application

Shay291

Hi all

I have finally saved up the money to go bankrupt next week, I am very nervous and excited at the same time . I suffer from severe OCD, intrusive thoughts, depression, anxiety & am taking medication. This is what got me into the mess I was in at the start of this year. So, when I finish my application online, is there somewhere for me to include this - or do I need to post it all? Haven't got to the end of the application yet, but would like to make them aware ASAP

Thanks

Sorry to hear you've had a rough time with your health.
The BR forms don't actually need any medical evidence from you as far as I am aware. Your insolvency is about your financial state - not your mental or physical state. Of course health problems are behind a great many BR's but the OR is only interested in the finances.

When you fill in the on-line application there is a space where they ask what caused the bankruptcy (or something like that). Perhaps you could mention your health problems in there.

Good luck.

I did exactly what Broaps suggested (except I had paper forms then....) I stuck a little extra note in explaining my mental health issues and come OR interview time they asked a little and I explained that i'd be happy to supply hospital details GP specialist etc they never needed..

Better to keep all the docs like GP recommendation, psychologist bills etc and mention on the application and when they interview personally.
