@sierrafox - I`m thinking of putting you forward to the Guinness Book of Records for the category of "how can I ask the same question so many different ways with so many different names on so many different forums"

I reckon you`ll scoop an award

I’ve took that quite personally, if I’m honest. 

I have severe anxiety and if I choose to change my username between different forums, that’s my prerogative. 

I don’t feel I’m mentally very stable at the moment but I always believe in the mantra. 

If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. 

On this occasion, I’ll accept you’re trying to make a joke but at my expense? 

Remember, different people are affected in different ways. Some to the point of pure paranoia. 

I`m sincerely sorry sierrafox, I misjudged your humour in between your serious comments.

I certainly wasn`t trying to make a joke at your expense, but I was trying to be humorous hoping that you would recognise why. 

I`m sorry, I really am.  I meant neither to offend nor upset you. 

Fair enough. 

Apology accepted. To be fair I do need to calm the hell down. It’s just I’ve never been in this situation before and it’s playing havoc with my mental health (as it does to those without MH problems). 

Problem with me is I try to get too much advice before I make a decision and end up involving too many people. Then my mind gets conflicted. 

It’s something I need to learn. 

Thank you

If the mental health of someone is measured by how much information they need to collect before making a decision, then I`m on the same seat as you. 

The difference between you and I in that respect is that you voice your questions / concerns where I will just bury them and spend hours on the internet researching whatever it is I`m looking for.

Having said that, the world would be boring if we were all the same

Very true. It would be a very boring place. Well hopefully my questions and relentless pursuit for answers may be someone else’s answer.

I`m sure it will.  Your relentless questioning is improving my knowledge of the benefits system.

I think I’ve drove poppy and calcotti round the twist. <<<<< And comments like this is where I misjudged your humour; I thought this was quite a funny comment.  The image that comes to mind of both poppy and calcotti is the burgler in "home alone" when he`s electricuted and ends up with frazzled hair

Anyway, for PIP reviews can you include medical records and sick notes? 

Do you have to erase the doctors name?

To be honest I can't see that what you have sampled helps. Primarily it simply states taht you've already other information so you've done that already. A copy of your Summary Care Record is often a useful a summary narrative and your GP will give that to you to copy and send.

New here and I personally think a letter of support can only make your case stronger but I'm likey wrong was only trying to help...

A GP can only confirm things like diagnosis, medication and what appointments you have or had. They don't spend any time with you to know anything else about how your conditions affect you. For this reason a letter from a GP isn't the best evidence to send.
