Just so you are aware, they are only have to give you 7 days written notice and as you have already cancelled one appointment you must now attend the next one, whenever and wherever it is or you risk having your claim closed for failing to attend.
Yes it is worth your trying to get further evidence from your GP, ideally you need to them to confirm in writing why you are unable to complete the PIP activities. You could give them a copy of the PIP activities, we recommend removing the points and ask them to indicate which ones they think you meet and to explain why.

Thank you I was told by atoms customer services that I could not change again but it was impossible for me to travel so far also my husband needed notice at work for time off as I am unable to attend without him. I will do as you say with the gp as ifeel his input is crucial I could not do anything earlier as he has been away for nearly 3 weeks…
Can I ask another question please:- I am one of the unfortunate 60 year old who is caught up in the massive delay in receiving my oap I have another 6 years before I can claim it… It is causing me on going stress and elevating my depression and feelings of despair that I have to battle to get my benefits for the next 6 years I worry that my benefits will stop and we will have to sell our bungalow which we only moved into a year ago because of my disabilities and have you had anyone else write to you in this position. Thank you

Hi Liz,
I'm afraid there are a lot of people in a similar situation. I spent many years expecting to receive my state pension at the age of 60 and now have to wait until I am 66. I just thank my lucky stars that I am 'too old' to be in the 67 cohort!
