i wonder if it is a good idea to contact them again or just leave it. it's difficult when they don't respond.
It's really up to you, personally I would but if you are uncomfortable with speaking on the phone or in particular to the DWP then you could leave it for a couple more weeks, alternatively you can have someone phone on your behalf.

I have also been thinking more about how to describe some of the problems I have with taking nutrition. As well as having to eat certain foods from the diet guide, I also need to stop eating if I get symptoms and do this 'bowel rest' do stop ending up in hospital with the NG tube...this does happen on a daily basis although i only have to do this for a period of more than a few hours every few days. This is compounded as some of the meds i take increase appetite and cause me to crave certain foods...
I don't think I made this clear when i think about it in the past so have written about this too. Hope they take notice of it all.

First thing in the morning is usually a good time, they should be open from 8am.
