Disabled element of Tax credit

The request was successful.

Dear HM Revenue & Customs,

Can you tell me what is meant by 'mental illness' in relation to claiming the disabled element of working tax credit? Are Personality Disorders covered by this term? As within the Mental Health Act it is.
Can you also tell me if a person gets high rate Disability Living Allowance, will there be no need for a Doctor report to claim the Disabled Tax credit?
If an applicant is refused maybe due to a unsupporting Doctor, is there appeal procedures, if so what are they?

Yours faithfully,

Bryan Morgan
