Professionals refusing to supply evidence

I'm struggling to get evidence together for my tribunal.
I have Fibromyalgia, Depression and Anxiety. I was denied PIP with 0 points. The problem is that I'm only recently diagnosed.
I have 5 years of medical evidence that basically says I complained about pain but no tests showed anything wrong.
My GP referred me to a Occupational health as part of my local social services. I've seen her half a dozen times about what help I need st home but she's refused me evidence to help with PIP!
She said they don't do that because of the 'backlash'!
How on earth am I meant to appeal the decision when I can't get anything to back up what I've said?
No test can show what I suffer with. I don't get help from any other professionals so I'm stuck.

Backlash?

@Waylay I have no idea what she meant. It's clearly my local social service's protocol not to give supporting documents

Sigh. Yeah, my pain clinic said the same thing.

I've just realised this posted twice.
I'll keep replies to the other thread.
