    Hi there 

    I'm not 100% sure but I think it would be OK is there anything in the email to identify it is from a doctor eg email address or electronic signature

    They don't take much notice of a GP letter as they might know what's wrong with you but not how it affects your daily living/mobility. They ask for details of your GP but will rarely contact them.
    What other evidence do you have to send them?  If you don't have any or not much take extra time to complete the application giving as much detail as possible
