DLA renewal - advice please

Completed the DLA renewal forms and submitted along with extensive medical report that got me HRM and MRC last time.

Nothing has improved at all.

Had letter saying DLA couldn't make a decision and had written to GP for further information.

Now, I don't see my GP that often as my GP knows that there is nothing they can do apart from dish out my medication regularly, and that is collected by my carer.

Should I ask the GP for a copy of what they return, or should I ask the GP to sit with me to answer the questions as I am unsure whether or not the GP will actually know the answers to specific questions?

Yet again, more worry I could do without, but an answer would be good from DLA before deadline date for my ESA renewal.

thanks, Lisa.

thank you Gordon.

I have faxed over an appropriate letter basically saying what you posted.

best wishes,

Lisa.

Well, just to let you know that one of the GP's called me and admitted that he was not totally aware of my everyday disabilities and issues and, as the sufferer, I know more about them than he does.

He then proceeded to ask, and listen, about all my issues and, for once, I think he has finally realised exactly what I am up against.

I really hope his 'report' is helpful now as I have only ever seen this GP once in the past year, and it seems the GP I saw many times has left the practice.

Fingers crossed, eh?

Love, Lisa

It certainly sounds hopeful Lisa!
