fibromyalgia assessment

[Juciy123]

On 11th December I had my first assessment. Telephone. Then when I went on my NHS app I noticed that my GP had filled in a form for PIP and the cost was £40 invoiced from my doctors to pip . The form from my what I could see listed my disability and then they must of sent attachments as it said see attached on other parts. Is this standard procedure? The form was only dated 11th December when myGP sent it .

Slightly different I know but when a GP has written a sick note too cover when we’ve had a cancellation on a holiday or short break we have been billed , they will start charging for referrals next 🙁x

I wasn’t billed personally

[Yassytina FMA UK Volunteer in reply to Juciy123]

Yes got that, just saying doctor s seem too be billing for their time, in our area seems it’s been for the last few years &actually it’s the Secretary who does the paper work once they can work out what the doctor has written 😩if it’s anything like what I’ve seen , hope your referral goes well 😁

Yeh I noticed it was the secretary.. just hoping I get a positive outcome. The telephone assessment was on the 11th and that doctors note was put on my NHS on 12th all very strange 🤷‍♀️

Oh no. Did they give any indication what points you did score? You can always appeal their decision. Lots of people get awarded on appeal.

No waiting for report asked for copy will do a MR

I hope your MD is successful. I also had to go through this but was successful. Don’t give up
