Hello, I sent a UC50 form with extensive medical evidence - on multiple disabling conditions. Included consultant letters on physical conditiosn and also a letter from a mental health consultant asking they do a paperbased assessment.
A relative called for an update adn he was asked to book an appointment, for a phone wca thena dn there. They then said they are still waiting for information from my gp, so there is a chance it couild go to paperbased but i could book an apopintment now. I am very confused as it is, as things seemed to go round in circles when i was listening.
I ahve contacted the gp and asked if they could write a letter requesting paperbased.
I can't handle inteactions and theyv'e said i would have to answer every question and no one can speak for me or it would be an incomplete assessment and would end up cancelling the claim if i didn;t full engage. But i can;t fully engage. even the work coach calls, my friend has to do most of it as i am so distressed.
I can;t cope - i am terrified of a van that's eben parked outside for three dasys, scared it is them watching me. I can;t eat, i'm panicked all night. I'm fighting not to self harm but it's a huge struggle now.
