211 pages of evidence. Can someone help?

Afternoon all,
I asked my GP if he could provide a summary of my notes and my hospital admission letters since my last claim and he’s sent me 211 A4 pages.
Not sure if I should laugh or cry at the sheer volume of paperwork but should I just send it all off with my PIP claim form?
I really don’t know what to do, as in how o can even condense it and I’m getting myself wound right up.
Can anyone give me some advice on what I should do with the “book of my life” from the last 3 years please.

Our daughter's was over 600 pages so keep smiling.. Having said that, purely practically, I find decent quality [so they don't fall off causing chaos] sticky note tabs very useful for this sort of job, to mark possible or definite pages. I also use sheets of scrap paper or coloured file dividers to put in place of sheets I have removed to photocopy, so it is easier to replace them.
Having a lined pad beside you, you can note down page numbers, or if they're not numbered, page dates, and briefly what they are. So you can tick off which descriptors you have covered. You may prefer a different system but I hope some of it's helpful.

Hi Calamitysue

Can I just add to the fab advice you have been given already. Be very very careful going through those sheets, look for anything written that can be and probably will be taken as is written. You may think it is backing up your case but really it is not and could lead to problems with interpretation. My head isn't working too well this morning so it might be clearer re what I mean if I give an example of what happened with me.

I had taken and sent lots of evidence about my conditions to the assessment, however, the first thing the assessor picked up on was an older scan report of my lower spine only that said '' severe DDD to lower spine, disks L456 ruptured'', one disk had exploded out and impinged the nerve to my bladder, etc etc BUT the report went on to say ''No further issues noted with the spine'' This is important because all the assessor latched onto was the last bit !! I had to several times insist that no there wouldn't be any further issues noted as no other areas of my spine were scanned at that point, gosh, I must have tried to get that through to her 5 or 6 times. The fact that she had newer scans and x-ray results of my whole spine didn't even get a mention. Just read every report very carefully, some may prove to be more harmful than good. I did go on to get an enhanced award for both but even in the report the assessor still brought up that one blinking sentence at every opportunity. Hope this helps, it really is worth reading from a different perspective.

My friend, who works at dwp, told me they are always getting claims with a large amount of supporting evidence. He said unless it states what you are saying people shouldn't be sending it in as it muddies the waters and slows the claim down.
