    That's what's known as patient lead letters and are not classed as evidence.
    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.

    Would you explain what the difference is - I can't find any online reference to "patient lead letters"

    Resident joker - not to be taken too seriously ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I had a telephone appointment with my GP, he said to send him an email stating what I'd like him to write - £0.00.
    Telling your GP what to write is a patient lead letter and not evidence because you've told them what to write. This is mostly why GP letters aren't the best evidence because they very rarely know how your conditions affect you.
