PIP medical evidence query

As long as it is on Surgery headed stationery then it should not be a problem.

Really?! I am wonderfully shocked to hear you say so Gordon. Is this fairly standard practice for Drs not to actually sign letters then?

This one looks as all the others have in the past, but I'm not sure i'd call it 'headed' paper.... it's got the NHS logo & surgery address at the top right.
It looks professional, but surely anyone could do that. I suppose if they are suspicious they could just ring the surgery to confirm the letter's existence on my notes.

But to me, medical evidence without a signature is no evidence at all.... almost like an unsigned affidavit. Do you think I'm mistaken in that then? Am i making too much of it?

I said it should not be a problem, obviously, a signed version will be better but if it is on headed stationery then they can at least verify it by contacting the practice.

Gordon

ok thanks.
So, given i can't now get the letter signed (as he has retired & left)......

of these 2 letters ...

1 that contains the afore mentioned/discussed "'she informs me that' she has X problems", but which is signed

& 1 that is amended to say "she has X problems" but has only the typed signature - ie is not personally signed by him.

Which one would you guess to be the best one to send? - not asking you to decide for me, only what your opinion of the comparison of potential consequences.

Thank you Gordon, your input is much appreciated.
