Printing off Medical Records online

Printing off Medical Records online was created by Orangeblossom
I was wondering if it might be a good idea to print off online summary medical records- we can access these from our GP surgery. Is this a good idea in terms of medical evidence or should there be potential pitfalls I wonder?

It really depends on the content. :)

OK- so it shows things like

Ongoing monitoring and blood tests
States conditions ongoing
States where they send off forms to DWP
Shows ongoing 3 monthly medications being prescribed
Shows patient communicates by letter

Not much detail I suppose bit it is hard to find things when it is asking for stuff which is recent.

They have told me would print off a medication summary and conditions slip but don't think they do letters etc.

Have also got last Appeals decision for PIP saying severe conditions and used paper bundle to make decision (paper appeal) and more recent ESA 85A (support group) and ESA113 form

Would any of these be good to include I wonder? Reason for support group was task completion.

Thanks.

I can't really comment, if you think it supports your claim then include it but as with any information you supply include an explanation of why it is relevant.

As Gordon has already said i can't comment directly on your case but in my case i can see my medical records online as well but for me printing these off would be of no use, however you do have the right to ask for complete printout from any date, and it my case it has proved very useful in the past but it will cost, my first request cost me the best part of £50 but i was going back several years and now i ask for hard copies once a year.
For ME it is worth doing it but it's a very much a what suits your needs kind of case, sorry i could not help more.
