'Checkup's'

[Camhanaich]

Hi all

I've not been here for a while, so apologies to one and all.

I have been receiving PIP since October 2019. Yesterday (saturday) I received a 'brown envelope' asking to fill in my medical history, accumulate 'evidence' and send everything back to DWP or whoever they are by 29th December.

I really do no know what they want ... I have a heart condition, Liver problem, Sleep Apnoea as well as Fibromyalgia. Maybe they think that I found a cure for all my ills, who knows.

Are these personal 'intrusions' and check up's usual?
