Acquiring Medical evidence

I would prepare two documents, give the longer one to them first and if they seem unhappy with commenting on it, offer the shorter on.

At my Tribunal, I had a Consultant letter which stated that "patient says can only walk a maximum of 20 metres". The Tribunal Dr wasn't happy with it, but my Representative told him he had to accept it as "Consultants Opinion" under the new Directive and Judge agreed. I cant find the Directive on any website, and Representative cant find the memo he read. But it must exist as Judge was aware of it.

Without a reference it's difficult to comment but even with one a Judge would not be bound by what I assume is an Upper Tribunal Decision, they are entitled to make their own decisions based on the credibility of the evidence before them.
