Abstract

This study explored the experiences of people with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD) as they navigated the UK welfare benefits system. It also gathered insight from professionals with experience of supporting people with applications. Interim findings identified four key factors: (1) a lack of trauma-informed practice; (2) inconsistent assessment and decision outcomes; (3) challenges of evidencing fluctuating conditions; and (4) lack (or unaware of) support for the application process. Interim recommendations are provided.
