Things missed off PIP2 form

When I completed my form I put my health problems down in list form.

Going over what I put down, I can see that I have not covered some of the things that are wrong with me. I have memory problems and was distressed completing the form as I had a chest infection for three weeks prior and had only 4 days left to complete.

I rushed it. I just spoke about the more serious health issues that affect daily living and mobility and things like Menieres which only trouble me from time to time, although bad when it does, also Dupytren’s Contracture in palm of right hand, night sweats and tremors. I did not mention anyof these. Or that I need help with Tens machine.

I feel utterly stupid. This is so important and I just panicked to get the form off in the post.

What can I do about not putting everything down? Its all in my medical history, but my GP has said Atos has not requested my History.

Should I mention this at my assessment?

Should I wait to get a report from my GP just in case I need to obtain a MR?


I was reading some articles online where people who have bad hands and poor grip, have lost points, as the assessor has said if you can drive and grip the wheel, then your hands are ok.

I have arthritis in both thumb joints several fingers and right wrist, with swelling and poor grip for lifting things out of oven, pans etc., But I can drive ok, but not for any length of time.

Is this a descriptor we are going to lose points on?

What do you think about obtaining a report from my GP?

I was thinking if Atos have not asked for it, should I wait?

The consultants letters I have sent are not current neither are my MRI's

My GP was the only one I put as a contactable source
