<p>The Department does not issue guidelines on accessing specialised support services
for people with mental health conditions who may be experiencing financial difficulties.
Where financial difficulties are identified as an issue for a person receiving treatment
and care for a mental health condition, signposting already exists in some general
practitioner (GP) practices and in Improving Access to Psychological Therapies services.</p><p>A
person who is experiencing financial difficulties or a debt crisis may approach their
GP or another health professional to provide evidence of their mental health condition
to their creditors to help aid any support a creditor may be able to provide to that
person. The Government is currently reviewing the process for GPs and other health
professionals completing Mental Health Evidence Forms to support this process.</p>
