GP REPORT FOR PIP

We live in a corner property, To get to the front door, you have to climb up about 7 wide steps, However, my husband always uses the back door to go out and come in, as this is a couple of yards to the side road where the car is always parked.
Should we mention this to the assessor who comes for the home visit and show them??? as they will be climbing stairs to reach the front door.

My GP was asked for further medical evidence report, which he has not yet completed. The practice manager has promised he will get this done by the end of the week. This means that the Assessor will not get a chance to see the report before they come.

My husbands home visit is on Monday 27th of Feb. I called Atos to explain this and was told that the visiting Assessor would be basing her assessment on the home visit and it was DWP who has asked for the further medical evidence and not Atos!!!!

I am a bit baffled. I really don't want to cancel Mondays home visit as I don't think my husband can handle any more delays and we just want to get this over and done with.

Can I tell the Assessor what has happened????
I can ask my GP for a copy to give to them on the day.

What are your thoughts and can you please clarify who has requested this further medical information???

I don't think they will receive it in time for next Mondays assessment.

I can ask GP for a copy to give to the Assessor on Monday and explain what has happened and insist in the nicest possible way for them to have a look at it before they speak to husband.

What do you think??

Thanks
