Hi to you all hope all is well as can be😀

As most of you know with your kind and informative advice was given.Any way went to my appointment at the advice centre I found the woman who was helping me (sort of) she seemed to have no patience and I dint help either,she was firing questions at me my brain didn’t work again she asked me what my disability was and u know what I couldn’t remember.I heard her say u need to be disabled to fill this form in my brain went into meltdown and I could feel myself getting angry my anxiety hit the roof I Remember saying to her ha,ha I get violent mood swings and I want to kill Sombody I haven’t done it yet😜.AnywY I got some letters out from me bag and she said do u av any think I can put down on form then I said bad back her reply was as it just started I laughed at her and said no this stArted when I was 20 which was 34 years ago so no it hastjust started.

She then said any other problems and I said can’t think of any.Any way I remembered I ad taken some print out from my online medical.I mentioned these and she looked and said you should have gave me those I told her I didn’t think they be legal.Cut a long story short she said you mentioned u ad fibromyalgia or copd.depression,anxiety.volent mood swings or a bad memory,well I couldn’t remember as we all know😂😂 she said let me now how u get on darker person.

I fined my pain specialist to see if they give me a support letter yes I was told I nearly hit the deck £150 bang out of order I can’t afford that then receptionist told me to ring doctors for one I did fone receptionist told me they don’t do it any more.i ad appointment with doctor that same day to get my last b12 injection making it 6 in total anyway my mind wonders quite a lot is it fibro fog.

I asked doctor for a supporting letter he told me they don’t do it no more I was stunned and angry 😡,as that happened to any one else.

Other people have asked there doctors for supporting letter and got it.Did u get one of ur doctors and when.

Yes I babble on ,get off point,then completely forget what point was lol,.that woman should've been more patient with you,I wonder how many of us find that because we have a memory problem some think its okay to be rude?I make sure I have someone with me nearly always because of that and as a stand in lol for my memory!

Quite a lot of Drs seem to think supporting letters are a waste of precious time and charging customers for them, gets a bad response. They prefer the DWP to ask. The DWP, prefer not to ask coz they dont want the info and they dont want to pay. Tough hey?

That’s about rite ay but Sombody else mentioned they have to pay doctors Surgery money as doctors don’t like to give it voluntary.

Yes, if the DWP ask the GP for info, they have to pay them for it, as per the terms of their contract. Hence the DWP may like to not ask and see what happens? It is a sneaky game and the GP's have in general wised up, leaving their patients pawns in a nasty game. Too many people getting assessed unable to back up their claim.
