Hi momx,

I would not give up !

We do have members in a similar situation who have gained PIP awards.

Even though ATOS/DWP are not obliged to contact your G.P., they do so in around 25% of cases, so you might be one of the 25%.

Another alternative to gaining evidence may be to request to view your G.P. records on site, then ask for photo copies of any relevant extracts, this may be cheaper.
