Hi there,
My wife applied for Naturalisation as British citizen about 2 months ago and since she suffers from long term depression, anxiety and memory difficulties,
she requested home office to exempt her from the life in the UK and the English tests. We had the exemption form filled out by the GP and it was sent to Home Office with other supporting documents. She is under treatment for a quite long time and she has also been seen by specialist a few times, all the questions in the exemption form were answered by her doctor and it was mentioned that she will not get any better in future, however we received a letter from home office saying that they are nor prepared to exempt her from the requirement and they have given 3 weeks to provide them documentary evidence that meet the requirement (english and life in the UK test).
Can anyone help please?
i think GP history is good enough because they asked on application a further exemption forms sign with GP or other specialists. I am aslo on same stage where they asking further evidence which i received , so i think GP can provide history, where an applicant has been attached in past to departments relare to health , this i think doesn't mean GP cant do nothing as he holds all records. please if you still think some thing is more good lets share
It seems the OP did use their GP and the Home Office still rejected it, in my earlier post I did state that a GP is NOT enough, to the OP, you may have to get social work from the mental health team involved and for them to refer an occupational therapist report as well as a social work background report.
I state the above as this will determine the extent from a professional point of view on how your partners illness affects their daily living, from simple things such as basic cooking to shopping and going out and about. It will also come to the point that you can raise to them in regards to their capacity to understand and logic.
Again, most governmental departments such as assessors for benefits or even paid for carers or nursing homes require this report as it gives them a report on what core abilities have been affected by their mental health and arrange support and care accordingly.
This has been my experience. Again a GP will be Informed and be upto date with all this but they aren't the ones dealing with this as when it comes to mental health unfortunately, even GP's are sometimes failing, I say this with respect to GP's and I'm not brushing all GP's in the same brush.
