Dear Benefits and work I'm hoping you could make this a pinned thread as I suspect many claimants don't realise this below when they gather evidence to their claim(s)
Just a answer to a question that many won't realise if your medical evidence that you gather for your claim states (Confidential Information) any letters from your health professionals will NOT be used in your claim(s).
REASONS below:
4.2.4 Confidential Information
Confidential Information relates to any document received in respect of a claim and marked "Confidential" or "In Confidence".
Such a document cannot be used in the consideration of a case, and if one is encountered you should take the same measures as described for Embarrassing Information.
A claimant may attempt to give you information which they do not wish to have recorded on the report; that is they wish certain facts to be treated "In Confidence". It should be explained that such information cannot be taken into account as it cannot be made available to the Decision Maker.
