Ideally you need to provide up to date medical evidence, old medical evidence can be used providing that you can show that your husbands condition have not improved or have even deteriorated, however, five years is a long period and if his condition has changed (the violence), this may undermine the reports.
I would have a word with his GP to see what thought they have on the matter.
