Thank you, so it is more about how I describe my situation. I need to be clear that I want to socialise, and avoid it because of opd, and then explain in detail the effects having face to face engagement has on me, how I feel when trying to have face to face and the struggles.

I think if my consultant writes about me not socialising and avoiding it because of anxiety, that I have to elaborate myself on the details as in my paragraph above

Is that ok, ?

Gordon's second post about having a person trained in social support is pretty significant to remember- the DWP won't just accept anyone/friend/family member as the person supporting you.

If the DWP won't accept family, etc, as the person offering support - are you able to use the argument "if I didn't have family to support me then I would need a person trained in support to do so"?
