I have been getting PIP personal care low rate for several years. when I initially applied I went to local assessment centre and the assessor was very help ful but was only awarded persona; care but not mobility. I did and still have problems walking due to shin bone pain and ankle pain both of which have got worse since then. I work in a first school as a catering unit manager for last 25 years. I have asked my GP to provide a letter listing my medical history including diagnosis and treatment details which includes Physio therapy and visits to pain management clinic. They want £30 for this service but also want to know why I want this informatio. I am reluctant to tell them the reason because I fear they will not give proper details because they do not want hassle of answering DWP queries I am told by google searches.

I drive an automatic and use a walking stick which I did not when I Inirialy applied for PIP 5 years ago Is it worth getting the GPs to write a letter or should I just download my medical notes. Should I tell the GP the reason for my request?
