    You are very welcome! Thank you for those kind words! Please remember to keep sending those fit notes until a decision's been made on your work capability assessment. Good luck!
    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.

    Yes I've ordered a drs letter as well  a medical source statement confirming by disability proving I've not been getting correct benefits as well so hopefully this will help many thanks

    A letter from your DR or GP isn't the best evidence to send because they very rarely know exactly how your conditions affect you. The work capability assessment is simialar to PIP (very different criteria though)

    You have been claiming the correct benefits it's just you haven't been assessed for the work capability assessment. There's no disability premiums available for you to claim.
