I recently sent off my PIP forms, I filled out my forms but i also added my medical records and letters from my GP and neurologist . hopefully that will be enough, my medical records did cost £30 instead of £50 but i honestly think they are worth it, All my records and personal letters from my GP show how chronically ill iam. hopefully this will be okay and i'll be successful.

They're the new benefit replacing DLA, it stands for 'Personal Independence Payment' or something.

Best of luck for this, PIP/DLA/any benefit battle, is so horrible to go through.

As soon as I got my letter saying I'd need to change over I got flare ups of everything, severe fatigue and started having panic attacks. Bleh

I need to buy my medical records but for some reason when I try to the staff always try to put me off it (wonder what's in there that they don't want me to see?) so I need to get an advocate for that! It's good to get them though, do you have a personal copy?

Helps to know your medical records very well for their sneaky questions!

Not what you're looking for?
