You will need to get all details from your Doctor to post to them. Irellevant of what others say as you will have more details than a doctor would

I disagree. I requested my medical records from my GP just before the very first lockdown and i have to say that i didn't find anything in there that i would use for evidence for any benefit claim. Medical evidence is only every useful if it states exactly how your conditions affect you, most don't. My GP doesn't have a clue about how any of my conditions affect me.

the stuff i requesting from doctors is from my consultants i have seen that shows the link of my intinal accident and the pain conditions i went on devolp over last couple yesrs started which affecting more area of my body from my i assement last feb .

eg started in one leg and back

now affects arms hands other leg skin and various other parts .

But is confimed by neurolgy and rheumatolgy

Hii had my assement today

she took photocopies off my 3 consultant letters and my hospital admissions

and was really understanding
and read back to me what she wrote down . About what i told her accurately .

and said the evidence is enough to prove the link between it

so just have wait for the descion letter to see what percentage im judge at now .

thanks for the help

hi i no its not a descion but i was under the impression from her and what i had read online on directgov the examiner is the one who gives me the percentage of what loss of faculty .

This was at start of the interveiw when she was reading threw my paper work . She was nice at the end to and wished me luck with my treatment and said even a little improvement is better than none . And try to stay postive

Her exact words were that clearly states that your issues now are due to the orignal injury . And had no previous issues of any kind before the accident . The doctors printed my report page which shows all the issues operations i have had over the year starting 1998 which having tonsils out haha

The neurology one stated

. i have explain to miss #### that following her intinal injury
she has developed and pain syndrome which is complicated by numbness .

Which now as spread over my entire body .

Then the rheumatologist states

.after her initial diognoises of pain syndrome complicated by numbeness 2 years ago . Miss fury as gone on to devolp fibromyaligia along side this with severe hypersensitive to touch .

Suppose ill find out in few week just waiting game now
