- The level of pain and discomfort experienced by the victim
- The impact on the victim’s emotional well-being and mental health
- The effects on the victim’s ability to enjoy life and engage in normal activities

I've been dealing with a legal claim which has impacted my health.
Unfortunately, after months of testing, seeing multiple different healthcare professionals and trying different treatments, I got the news that the effect on my health is permanent and it is caused by the stress I have been under.
Can I seek compensation for this and add it to my claim?
What figure is reasonable or acceptable. Googling has brought up a 'moderate, less severe and severe' scale. As the effects on my health are permanent and I have to modify my life to reduce the amount of pain I'll experience, would this fall under severe?
Other than the doctor's final report, would I need any other documents?
Thank you for reading.

You can, but dont expect thousands.
Is the incident from injury resulting from a collision, fall at work, criminal or something else?
Are you the defendant or claimant? It’s vague from the post.
Have the opponent been unreasonable (to the legal standards), or is it just the fact you’ve had to claim that’s caused the harm?
Are you acting as a Litigant in Person or do you have a Solicitor representing you?
If a Solicitor ask them as we don’t know the facts and what aspects of any claim may be covered elsewhere.
