Much? My husband has put them all into sub categories to make easier reading.
Also do you think they would except evidence and not call me for a F2F. Thank you

There's no right or wrong amount of evidence to send but you do need to make sure that it is relevant to your limitations so just because you have something does not mean that you should submit it. As an example; if you have multiple results for the same test then you only need to submit the latest one, ditto for prescription information.

Thank you for your reply. Is everyone asked to go to a interview. I have enclosed evidence for homonymous visual problems. And bladder and bowel problems after incomplete spinal injury. So I’m hoping by seeing the test and results and letters from consultants they might come to a decision with out interview. Fingers crossed

The assessment Providers are targetted with doing about 5% of assessments as a Paper Based Review but based on what I see in the forum they don't meet this. There's no formula for a PBR, comprehensive evidence will certainly help but medical evidence does not always directly address the PIP Descriptors.
If they contact your GP are they likely to be supportive of your claim?

Hi yes spoke to Gp on phone. He said he is fully supported of my claim the same goes for my consultant and support nurse, whom I have named on my application. I have enclosed the past letters from my gp from when I applied for DLA.
