DLA to PIP letter

Thank you for your reply Gordon. It looks like I need to grit my teeth, try to be sociable and keep the appointment..
I saw my main Respiratory consultant yesterday who was concerned at the drop in the results shown of my lung function tests since my last visit 6 months ago and the increase in my breathlessness. I now have to have further medication and had to have an X-Ray to see what else is going on. He will write to me and my GP with yesterday's consultation, the X-Ray results and any other treatment he can suggest. However, I will not have a copy of his report before the home visit.
I need to mention this but wonder if I should write out what the consultant said and give it to the health professional with a copy of the new prescription? Should I mention which descriptor this covers?
Similarly, I also had an appointment cancelled last week to clear wax from my ears and this is making my communication problems even worse than usual. Should I also write out a document with the relevant details and the descriptors which are covered by my deafness?
Sorry for more questions.

Teri

I should have explained that I have been deaf for 30 years and I am very deaf even without the wax build up which made me extremely deaf.

Teri

Do I also need to send the copy of my extra information following discussions with my consultant to the DWP. Or is it enough just to give the copy of the report and prescription to the Health Professional.

Regards, Teri

Hello again Gordon. Quick question please. I was all ready for my home visit from my PIP Assessor today when a man rang to apologise that he couldn't attend today - I assume because of the amount of snow during the night. As luck would have it, my husband had left the room and so I was just guessing at what the man was asking. I did hear that he wanted security and asked DOB & address and he then said he would have to make another appointment for 2 weeks time. By this time my husband had arrived back downstairs and was able to affirm the new appointment date and my choice of time. Do I need to call anyone at DWP? I had already sent some extra info to the decision maker which I was going to give to the Heath Professional today but I wasn't expecting this cancellation.
