Girlhappy said:Why not go to your local job centre with your paperwork, as they usually have a disability advisor there. they should be able to advice you and they might even send the paperwork for you. it's worth a try.

lillybelle said:In answer to your question. No I didn’t send anymore medical info in.
all I sent was a letter from my GP confirming my diagnosis and saying that it does affect my daily living.
that is all.
i sent this letter with my application , then sent another copy with the MR just in case they had lost the first.
i haven’t got anymore medical info. My doctor just wrote that if they wanted anymore info to contact him.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -

Much a similar situation I had with ESA years ago. The DWP, bless them, actually wrote to one of my consultant surgeons for a report. Unfortunately the consultant wrote back to the DWP enclosing the uncompleted form telling them that his job is saving life and as such he had no time to allocate to fill out the form - he actually suggested that they contact me as no doubt I have given them a full and frank account of my issues.

My gp gave me a summery but won’t write me a letter as they said if they done it for me they would do it for everyone. My summery has my diagnoses on but I don’t believe it was even looked at. I’ll update you all when I hear from them. Thank you everyone appreciate all your help x

My gp wouldn’t know how it affects me daily as they don’t see that for themselves.

To put that in perspective for you I haven’t represented anyone in 30 years who has ever needed to put in more than 10 additional pieces of evidence and I’d guess the average is between 1 and 5. -

I’ve nothing to add. -
Btw, @heyyouitsme just so you know: for PIP it doesn't matter whether you're employed or not.

Username_removed said:My final post on this topic is to say that I think you urgently need face to face advice and representation. You should not be doing this by yourself. Going for the one point is fine in itself but my concerns about the evidence remain and you need your evidence to be reviewed by a professional who can weigh up each document and its real worth. Have seen too many people put in evidence they think says one thing when it says something else and too many people antagonise a tribunal by expecting them to wade through stuff wholly unnecessarily. If you’re going to appeal then the volume of evidence will definitely have an impact at that point.

Just in case your arguments are about not being able to work, @heyyouitsme.
I agree with @Username_removed. You need help with this! Ask CAB, Welfare Rights, etc. There are also various local and online groups which might help. -

Yes she told me if it goes to a tribunal then they will represent me not them directly but someone associated with them. Well I was doing research and came across this website and thought it was helpful so put my story forward but now feel like I’m not entitled to do so. So I won’t be commenting again.
