I have received my PA4 and am currently working on requesting a Mandatory Reconsideration. I am unsure what is meant by "History of conditions show no specialist input for osteoarthritis and "History of conditions show no specialist input for medical health"
Having Googled specialist input I have no idea what this statement means.
Anyone know?

The assessor is saying that you have not reported any reviews from a specialist in your conditions, for example; the Rheumatology department at your local hospital.

I have undergone counselling and CBT in the past, wouldn't this count as its not current? I sent documentary evidence which has been ignored.
I receive knee injections at my GP's surgery for Osteoarthritis so I guess these don't could either?

The problems with the CBT is that it is historical and presumably you are benefiting from the results of it or not, as the case might be.

Were the injections recommended by a Consultant?

Having no recent specialised input is not always a problem, If you have been "parked" by the NHS as many have, then you would not be expected to.

I didn't benefit at all from CBT.

I have cortisone injections in my knee as recommended and administered by my GP. I currently live in Cornwall and this is common practise in rural areas, if I were still living in Sheffield I would have had to go to hospital for the injection. I have never seen a consultant.

The HP mentions on 5 descriptors, "History of conditions show no specialist input for her osteoarthritis and 4 times "History of conditions show no specialist input for medical health"
I stopped taking medication for my mental health due. I have Menieres disease and found that antidepressants made me even more dizzy. I did explain this to he but she chose to ignore it.

I scored 2 points overall for wearing a hearing aid. I was in receipt of mid rate DLA for both care and low rate mobility. I will be sending in a Mandatory Reconsideration as she has not reported accurately what I said or did and there are 7 exercises on the musculoskeletal report that I am incapable of attempting. HP's who lie should be sacked for wasting tax payers money.

Please see my reply above. I am still getting to grips with using a forum! Is there a way to get notifications of a reply?

Thanks
