Does Hospital ringing GP improve my chances ? was created by A Kaplan
It is extremely difficult to get an appointment at my GP s surgery, so I arranged a triage call and was told to go to Hosital first.
After visiting the Hospital like I was told to in the phone call from a GP it was left that I was to arrange an appointment with a GP as soon as possible.
Instead when I went to the surgery to ask for an appointment they had already arranged an appointment for me for next weds when normally I'd have to wait three or four weeks.
Does telling the DWP about the Hospital ringing to make sure I had an earlier appointment rather than leaving me to do it as was agreed improve my chances of the DWP giving me enough points (if my form is good enough otherwise of course) and agreein g that I should be found 2 have Limited capability to work ?

If you are expecting to score points for ESA descriptor 13 - Initiating Action, then the hospital making the appointment may be supportive.
