All learning disabilities can have one or more underlying medical / clinical causes of the learning disability symptom. sounds like your doctor is not very aware of this or has little understanding of the symptom some clinical conditions may have.
Unfortunately the different types of support services use different forms of teminoly to explain the exact same set of issues, and only wish to use their way of explaining things, all part of massaging their egos, and failing those who may have these types of issues.
For example.
I hope you are able to get the support and understanding you need in the very near future

Have you contacted a educational psychologist? They have experience of working with people with dyslexia and dyscalculia as well as more serious learning disabilities like down syndrome. How are you doing? Did you succeed in going back to the social worker or not? Ask them about being referred to a educational psychologist for more extensive testing. A EP will conduct tests to determine what are your weaknesses and strengths.
Are you in higher education at the moment? If so talk to your college teacher, they might be able to help you find a educational psychologist who can help you figure out what is going on. Or you can look online to see if there are any in your local area. http://www.educational-psychologist.co.uk/sen-resources-blog/2016/1/22/adult-assessment-for-dyslexia
Good luck and keep us updated.
