Good try: I don't think a personality disorder alone is going to get someone disability payments.

BPD & Disability: I agree with dr. Fowler. Borderline personality disorder alone does not prevent someone from being able to work, especially if s/he is in treatment. There may be relationship difficulties, but there are many very successful people who also have this condition. Career may go quite well, while more intimate relationships bear the brunt.
