    Although they don't don't do it ss often as they should, it usually means they are contacting your GP to get their view on your illness and it's impact.

    It's actually a good thing and "may" lead to a paper based result.

    It will be the UC113 form, which is a simple tick box form for them to fill in and return. You can see that form here, although it says ESA113, it's the same form.

    I hope this has reassured you a little @peachtea1. It should be to help towards your claim. Let us know if you have any other questions though!
