furry wrote: Hi Gordon, Having just read this, for the past 18 months/2 years, I have been asking for copies of all hospital reports which go to my GP relevent to any appointments I have had. I have then made 2 copies and methodically filed them in folders purposely purchased ready for the big day when I am invited to apply for PIP from DLA. Are you now suggesting that sending a second copy to Capita will be a waste of time. I had read on an older post to send 2 copies off, 1 for Capita and one for DWP and using that information is the reason I have been preparing exactly that. Is it now going to be a waste of time or can it still be sent as I question whether everything will be copied or will some pieces of information be held back if deemed uneccessary. Would it not be useful or could it go against me if I was to send it anyway when the time comes.


Sending multiple copies of your forms, etc. has always been at the discretion of the claimant.

If you want to send a second copy then do so, I'm just saying that many of the reasons that used to make this something to consider are no longer relevant.

I don’t know what to advise a very troubled elderly gentleman. Naturally, I do not want to add to his worry. If you think I’m getting paranoid please tell me and I’ll include it in my next claim.

I'm afraid I don't have a solution.

Thank you Gordon, sorry if I hijacked someone else's post but as it was of the same topic I thought it would save an additional post. Your answer may have also answered the original post. I think, as far as I am concerned will still send two copies along with a covering letter when my time comes. Good luck to the elderly gentleman.

It it worth a claimant ensuring that the DWP and Atos/Capita hold the same data? Can we count on the DWP scanning every page and everything reaching Atos/Capita?

Where does a claiment send Atos/Capita copies?

There's no good reason why the two should not have the same information, although that does not mean that they will which is at the heart of your issue.

Confirming that they both have the same information would be virtually impossible, as it assumes that either organisation would give you feedback of what they have, which they won't.

You can contact them directly

Contact ATOS

Contact Capita

If a claimant sends 2 copies to the DWP would the spare be sent to Atos
instead of a scan? I fear the latter might result in loss of data
