PIP Review Medical Evidence?

Losingallhope

So I've finally had my pip review, since my last pip award which is now over 4 years ago & over 1 year waiting for my review I've finally received a text message (see photo) saying they have received medical evidence.

Just to clarify since my original award where I was awarded after a tribunal overrun in their refusal I was diagnosed with lymphoma cancer, a pituitary brian tumour & suffering chronic fatigue I've now finally received a diagnosis for my chronic fatige syndrome (it's only took me 4.5 years of me pushing to get it)

What I'm wondering is they say they have received the medical evidence off a health professional. Would this be from my gp who I think has thsle most information as they receive all other information on my health from other specialists I see?

Hi @Losingallhope, sometimes this just means the person looking at your review has sent their report to the decision maker. Most of them looking at reviews are 'health professionals' in some way, often physiotherapist or nurses of some kind. It doesn't always mean your GP or health professionals have been consulted but they do sometimes ask for evidence from them too.

Hope you're not waiting too long to hear more 😊

Oh right thank Rosie tbh I would prefer them to see my medical evidence as it explains my condition extensively

I'm not too bothered how long I wait now it's been so long since this has started its a drop in the ocean now lol 😊
