Confused about Medical Evidence - ESA/PIP

I have been confused over this and can’t seem to understand it.
Why, as some people say, they are not interested in medical evidence etc when assessing ESA or PIP but then ask for proof of medication your on, the strength of medication and how long you’v been on said medication.
Also why, if it’s not relevant, do they want a diagnosis, any referrals etc.
Its like they want the information but do nothing with it and then state it’s not about medical issues?
Thanks

this is exactly what I mean, what’s the point in asking for the diagnosis, medication list etc if they don’t even use it!!
And then say, you’v not been diagnosed if it’s not about that.
its very confusing, they either need it and use it or don’t, surly?
thanks for the reply
its been puzzling me, was just trying to get it straight in my head, overthinking again.
Thanks @poppy123456
