    I tried to get my medical file and was told I would have to pay per page ..i think they said 50p each page and I didnt know some Drs charge £25 ...i was charged that for a Drs letter that the DWP insisted I got only to find it was dismissed.
    At one time the DWP made it clear to all PIP claimants that they were NOT to contact their GP as they may well have to pay for a letter. The DWP said also that if they want a letter they will contact the GP themselves and pay the fee.

    Now we have the DWP telling the claimant to go get a GP letter and pay for it themselves! A complete turn round.

    Even though on the new review forms for PIP it has a list of things not to send to support your claim, a GP letter is one of them.

    For obvious reasons, but hey the way the DWP work anything and everything is possible!
