The key question is how many pages are you talking about? An assessor might reasonably read 5 pages but are unlikely to do so if the count is up at 50.

Also what type of documentation is it, for example an X-Ray or MRI scan require specialist knowledge to interpret, which an assessor is unlikely to have.

Lastly but most importantly, how relevant is the information to the PIP activities?

The bottom line is that if you don't present it, then it can't be taken into account but I recommend that you sort through to ensure that you are only providing the most important documents and consider providing some sort of covering letter explaining what you are giving them and how it relates to your claim and the PIP Descriptors.

Not at all, but it is medical evidence it does not necessarily lead to showing that you meet the PIP criteria, you need to lead the assessor and DM to making the right conclusions about your problems.

It's easy to understand that someone with a broken leg in a cast will have problems walking it's less easy to determine someone with Arthritis would.
