Definately get someone from welfare rights to help you, I couldn't have done mine without them! I know its hard but try and ask if your MH team have someone that helps with benefits, mine does and they're REALLY good because they're used to helping people with mental health problems. But seriously you shouldnt feel bad about it, there's loads of people on benefits with nothing wrong with them so if you genuinely have an illness (and if youre depressed this IS a genuine illness) you have nothing to feel bad about! Try and do it before you get into a financial mess though :)
Good luck!
