GOING TO GP'S ...... was created by Helen 47
Hi , ihave been on incapacity for 8 yrs now , filled the new form in and sent it back to the dwp .
Yesterday i recieved a telephone call from my gp's asking me to attended a meeting about DWP filling form in about my illness .
Can anyone tell me if this is normal , its just that i have never had a meeting like this before ?? .
I no this is late as my meeting is in the next hour , but would like to here from anyone who's been to a meeting like this
Thankyou Tilly

One word of warning, try not to volunteer too much information, if possible allow your GP to ask a question and then give a full answer, you need to try and avoid their writing "my patient tells me...", as this can result in the report being ignored by the DWP as it is seen as biased.

It's the first time I have heard of a GP doing this, but I would take it as a positive sign that your GP is acting in your best interests.Hi , ihave been on incapacity for 8 yrs now , filled the new form in and sent it back to the dwp .

Hi TT,
If this is pertaining to your migration to ESA, it will probably be an ESA113 form, see one here :

See these Q and A's also :

Hi , Many thanks to you all who have replied .
I had the meeting with the gP , and yes he did ask me about
my illness and how it affects me on a daily basis . It wasnt my usual GP i see so he asked me in to help him fill the form in . Everything went well with the meeting and i answerd everthing as well as i could .
The GP said that as far as he was aware , the next step would be for me to go for a medical , it was only people with a terminal illness that are exempt from medicals .
So ... fingers crossed the medical goes well , its awful waiting to here from the DWP .
Kind regards to you all
