Dr says not to attend face2face, will dwp accept? was created by faye
hi my daughter is 16 and is moving from DLA to PIP. She has multiple physical disabilities, medical conditions and anxiety/depresion.
Her consultant has wrote a letter saying that he recommends AGAINST her attending a face2face if asked to as it "will have a detrimental on both her mental and physical wellbeing and will worsen her conditions" ect.
will the dwp accept a letter like this or will they just ignore it and make her undergo a face2face anyway?
any advice all appreciated!

Hi F Appleby
It's impossible to say. It does depend a little on the exact wording of the letter. It appears from what the consultant has said that they have been very clear about the cost to your daughter's health - so you would hope that the DWP will accept that.

My doctor did a letter that said I should not have any f2f assessment on mental health grounds, but I had to undergo one anyway. They don't listen to the doctor as far as I could tell.
