Client received payment within a week of PIP, I thought based on DS1500. He did not personally see but when DWP PIP called Consultant he believes the understanding was he qualifies under terminal illness and this is from they were completing on phone.
Called PIP who say no DS1500 on file and was give under normal rules. As my client, didn’t complete the PIP app from, other than the terminal illness section this doesn’t seem correct.
ESA won't exempt from WCA until they have seen a DS1500.
The client continues to need to send fit notes to ESA as they have not seen DS1500.

Dr won't completes any more forms or letters as he wasn’t paid for the PIP call.
Advice much appreciated:
Many Thanks

Has the GP refused to issue a DS1500? They are under obligation to do so unless they believe that there is a reasonable prospect of death within six months, however, if they do then there really should be no problem with one being issued.

Does the client have a MacMillan Nurse? If they do then this may offer an alternative route to a DS1500.

If not then I would seriously consider contacting the Practice Manager about the situation.
