    You could request a copy of all your medical files from your gp in the form of a subject access request. Ask them if they have a form to fill in. Takes 30 days and it’s free

    Hi Zenkoblue,

    You can ask for copies of all your medical notes from your GP.
    However, when it comes to filling in a capability for work questionnaire, it's your condition now and how it affects you now that will be taken into account when the DWP make their decision, so although you can ask for them if you want to, you shouldn't worry too much if you don't have them, and if you have any recent medical letters then they will be more useful than any older ones.
