PIP

Hello,


I currently receive PIP and today I received a review form. My condition hasn’t changed. I haven’t seen my doctor for about a year, but I do receive my medication every month.


I have severe PTSD, and my psychologist discharged me a year ago, saying I could contact them again whenever I felt ready to talk. My brother is my carer.


Today I asked my doctor for a supporting letter, but they refused to give me one. This situation has caused me a lot of anxiety and stress.


Is there anyone who can help or guide me through this process?

is my carer letter can help ?


Thank you so much

    Hi

    I recently submitted my claim form and my Doctor said he couldn't give me a supporting letter because the d.w.p have told them not to do it anymore.

    You can include a letter from your brother/ carer and anyone else who knows your care needs. Include old letters from GPs, psychologists, etc. Annotate them to say whether you are the same or worse. For example, "I can no longer cope with visiting the hospital clinic to see my psychologist."

    Fill out your new form like a new claim. Write about your disability and how it affects you day to day against the descriptors. Don't just put no change. Send your previous evidence and as above a letter from your carer.
