PIP 'How your Disability Affects you ' form

Replied by Teddington on topic PIP 'How your Disability Affects you ' form
Thank you bro58 for the quick reply 
As I previously mentioned that my GP (the one I regularly see ) is away and don't know when she is back.
So last week , I made an appointment with my another GP and it was my first appointment with her.
We talk about my illnesses, conditions and how they are effecting my life.
I asked for a supporting letter from her and she accepted it.
Anyway, I've just received my letter today.
On the first paragraph of letter she explained my conditions and what painkillers I am on.
And on the second (final ) paragraph of letter she said exactly following;
"She tells me that her pains is very severe to the point she is unable to look after her five years old child and do simple things of daily living. She tells me that she has not been able to hold any employment. From my assessment today I can confirm that she is still veey unwell with her chronic condition and we see no state to maintain any regular employment at this time."
I am not sure about this letter. Is this a good letter for PIP? I know PIP is not about employment but her letter mentions 'employment '. So I really don't know if this is a good supporting letter or not.
When I made my first application; I had a letter from my GP (who I regularly see) and her letter was about how difficult my life was and my husband helping me etc.
I cannot get amend this letter , as I said I was this GP for the first time.
What do you think of this letter please?
Many thanks in advance.
