hi everyone im richard ive come here to ask a question

yesterday i got a letter from the gp surgery im at ,and it states that ive missed 3 appointments because ive got a few internal problems the first 2 appointments i cancelled the last appointment i forgot all about by mistake because im not always well,anyway the gp surgery explained details about missed appointments.

what ive done ive registered at a gp surgery and filled a online form ,the question is do i have to let universal credit know that ive changed my gp surgery and will it affect the money i get each month im not sure about this.

    did your gp surgery make you change because you missed appointments?

    Hi,

    You are meant to update them about a change of GP. Though not everyone does.

    It will not change your payments at all.

    becker thanks for your help yes but they advised me to do so ,so i thought about it and applied online to a gp closer to home which is just around the corner from me.
