Addison's Disease Support Group
Addison's disease (also known as chronic adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism) is a rare endocrine disorder. It is estimated that it affects about 1 to 2 in 100,000 people. It occurs when the adrenal glands, seated above the kidneys, fail to produce enough of the hormone cortisol and, sometimes, the hormone aldosterone

I've had Addison's for 25 years and am still working. I also take care of the house, husband and three sons. If you are taking the right amount of medication and have no other complications there are no grounds for a DLA claim as far as I can ascertain. Have a chat with your GP who should be able to guide you. I agree, life's chores can be exhausting. Have you checked your iron levels? Or your thyroid function? We often push ourselves too hard - and not always through choice. Can other members of the family help more to take the strain from you? Best wishes.
