It is for the claimant to produce this evidence setting out the claim in such depth, backed up with evidence, that the assessor would have very little wriggle room to argue against it.

Thankyou please forgive me when I received the PIP forms I ran like a headless chicken obtaining reports from the cardiologist,the Hospice,the dietician, the school, audiologist the gastrostomy team and others.i was merely annoyed if all the reports were sent and according to the cardiologist and Hospice DWP did not get in touch with them to clarify concerns

They very rarely contact anyone for any evidence or to clarify anything.
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. -
Thankyou poppy I assumed they follow letters and reports

Does your son have mobility issues? Following and planning a journey isn't for those with these issues. This activity is designed for limitations on mobility deriving from mental health, cognitive and sensory impairments. If he has mobility issues then it will only be possible for him to score points in the moving around part of mobility (activity 12)
