Hello
I sent lots of medical evidence to Dwp with my pip review forms last nov/dec/2018.
I still haven’t had them back.
I’ve called them and they said they have them ..
Is this normal?
If I call and ask for them will this affect my award?
Thankyou

Hi 10greenbottles

The DWP don't normally return any medical evidence that claimants send in. You are always advised to copy all the evidence before posting. You can ring and ask them. It won't affect your award.

A way to have copies of evidence returned if you sent originals is to make a right of access request. You can do this very easily online from this official link below.

www.gov.uk/guidance/request-your-persona...or-work-and-pensions

You can specify exactly what you want, or ask for all information from a particular department.
