MrBee said: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.

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 help0 -

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 hahaThe 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 now0 -
