Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

I would start by having a look at our PIP Claim guide that explain how to complete the PIP2 form based on your conditions and/or disabilities. Follow the link below

Hi tony, you don't need to get bogged down distinguishing between illness and disability, just list all of your conditions.

Tony

We ask members to try and keep all of their related posts in one topic as it makes it easier for the Mods to support you, so it is definitely the right thing to ask further questions here.

There should be no problem with going outside the boxes you also add extra pages.

You can certainly include the Consultants letter but its age will be against it and if it is a general letter of disability it will only be of limited use as it will not have directly addressed the PIP Descriptors.
