I sent my form back i never had help i wrote how i was feeling properly this time. I spoke to my advisor yesterday she told me to phone WCA as it was taking to long so i phoned and asked when my assessment would be he said they received my form and they was getting information from my doctor he said they was trying to do a paper based assessment and that i might not have a appointment and said to keep checking my journal but its not garunteed. I put in my form that i had a psychiatrist appointment on the 6th of this month the bloke from WCA said they requested doctors report on the 9th but i spoke to receptionist at my doctors and asked about starting quetiapine but she did not listen she never asked about this but told me a doctor would phone about medication but she was on about naproxen witch i just started for my knees so i asked whilst on phone and doctor said he new nothing about it and there was no report from the psychiatrist yet i lost it and obliterated my phone up the wall i was saying the naproxen has been giving me gut problems and he was going to try changing my omeprozol to another gut tablet so now im not taking them at all and am still in pain all my fit notes are on the phone as well i always do stupid things so do WCA get information from psychiatrist

    They very rarely contact anyone. If they contact your GP they will send them the UC113 form to fill in and return.

    Did you give them your psychiatrist's contact details?

    I am due to send my form back when I have completed it. Hope they don't send my doctor a UC113 as my doctor has never seen me about any of my "problems" in the last five years. In that time I have seen people at the hospital, counsellors and therapists but the last two don't even report anything back to the doctors

    Hi @salty1212334

    Oh dear, I'm sorry you've found this experience frustrating so far. Did you break your phone? And just to check, do you feel you have enough support with your mental health right now?

    Try not to worry too much, and I hope you can get some relief from your pain soon.

    Hi i spoke to my psychiatrist 3 weeks ago and have heard nothing back i lost it on the phone with psychiatrist the first person i spoke to from cmht hes phone went dead and told me it was my fault because i switched appointment from video call to phone call then second time i had a face appointment they sent a letter out i walked there it was red hot i got there and the receptionist looked at me gone out and said it was phone appointments only i showed my letter and they said they made a mistake i had 30 mins to get back right as i walked through the door the psychiatrist phoned and i lost it he said he had to be quick as he only had 1 hour and half that was wasted because of the mess up i also ordered my meds from pod and they never sent it through to doctors so i had no meds for 5 days i also paid bailiffs and my bank asked me to type code but it kicked me off app i never had chance to type code went on laptop to pay and it took a double payment so i rang and they said they would have to return to council so i put phone down as i would of had to wait months for return i had 35 pound for shopping for the month they took 20 of it i was left with 15 pound for the month i lost 10 pound over the month and they wonder why im mad i think anyone would be we have church people drop food on are bench outside but most of the time we need something to go with it and yes i broke my phone i got a new one the next day sorry for waffling
