Hi everyone, so thankful to have come across this forum.
I have applied for ADP and I’m in the process of uploading supporting evidence. I have a gambling addiction which I am getting help for. Will my application be terminated for telling them this?

No, not at all. ADP is awarded to those that have a disability that affects their daily life. Whether your claim will be successful will totally depend on how your conditions affect you.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -
Thank you very much for responding. I’m just so overwhelmed by it all!
