HI,Which is why paying for a letter from your GP isn't the greatest advice because GP's very rarely know exactly how our conditions affect us. They will only be able to tell them about medication, appointments you've had and medication you take, if any. If a GP knows how your conditions affect you, it will be because you've told them.Its free to request digital copies of your medical reports, which can often be much better than a letter.

Hello @freckles Sorry to hear this about your Doctor.
Did you know you can sign up to have you records down loaded to your own PC.? To a printer.
Called Patients Access . Use this for my meds to be delivered. Plus make appointments on line. To my Doctor.
Reason I did the Patient Access other websites are available. The one on the TV ads we all see.
For this purpose just in case.
Only problem is they do give you a warning . In the blurb. Saying about the medical records.
Because we do not know what the Doctor is saying about us. All typed up on PC.
Other anything you disagree with speak to Surgery.
Understand what you need to do is to go to your GP Surgery ask would like to have your medication delivered, make appointments on line.
Ask about Patients Access. Most Surgeries are signed up to this service.
You get set up and sign in details. All easy to do.
I am not good with IT. Yet did this OK.
Means in early morning asked for meds on line. Need to say got them by Lunchtime by chemist who delivers. Other times usually next day or with in 48 hours.
Saves a lot of hassle.
Take care.

You can also ask a relative or friend to write a letter as they see you on a day to day basis whereas doctors don't see how you illness affects you as much. They only see you for a few minutes each time and is often rushed. My sister wrote a detailed letter which the assessor read and included in his report.
