i have had panic disorder for 18 years, several attempts at treatment failed. Can i claim compensation?
Byliving is very expensive and i cant cope on the amount of benefits i get. Is there any way i can get compensation for being unable to work all this time>?
No, you should get help in living with your disorder. Having a psychiatric disorder is not immediate grounds for benefits but it may mean that you can get workplace and other accommodations to make work and life more productive. Also, Panic Disorder may be hard on you but the standard set is significant inability to function as a worker.

I am unsure whom it is you think should compensate you. Unless your inability to work is as a result of a condition directly caused by someone else’s negligence, there is nobody who would be due to pay you compensation.
