Hi
When I first applied for PIP my GP was asked to fill out a form and I had to give them permission. As part of my review I have just found out my GP filled in a form and returned it to DWP but did not tell me anything about this. I had no idea it had been requested and I had not given permission. Should this have happened?

You gave permission in your first claim, they do not need to ask for your permission again after that.
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. -

I just realised that it does ask you that question again in the review form. Apologies, even though I returned my review form at the start of December, I forgot it asked you that.
Are you 100% sure you ticked no? If so then no they shouldn't have contacted them.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.

I would not want to stop them asking the doctor for information because they already take long enough to make the decision and they often need more evidence.
There is nothing to worry about if they ask your doctors as far as I can tell -

They make a lot of mistakes so they have probably made another mistake by contacting your doctor.
If you will be satisfied by an apology they will probably give you one.
I'm not sure if there is the option of you checking the doctors evidence before it's sent to the dwp so that might be expecting a bit to much .
I think it's best to help them get evidence as soon as possible and I'm not sure you are achieving that by hoping to check what the doctor writes. -
