DLA TO PIP questions

Thank you...I just don't bother going to the g.p with things that they can't do anything for..in fact I don't go at all unless I am in agony...I am very private person and only my familiy and a few close friends now how much help and how much I rely on other people and have done for 30 + years as my stroke was 30 years ago I am relying on my g.p for evidence of this and my c spine issues and operation I am going on Monday first time i have been out in 6 month and I feel guilty about bothering my g.p with this ...I also get worked up and stressed when I have to go out ...due to the time effort and pain not to mention the distress I feel at the thought of falling and having to lie on the floor falling like a bug...No one knows this either because I am the queen of putting on a brave face..Would it be worth my career who has been looking after me for those 30 years doing a letter or daily care diary which details the struggles I face and how and why they help me with things and what could happen if they did not

Hi again...just done my pip 1 telephone call..when we got to the question about using old dla evidence I said no ...mainly because it was about 1990 when I was last assesed for dla..and that was so long ago and the process was so different then ..and I have no idea whatsoever what that information that they have is...do you think that was the right course of action ?? My doctor is doing me a letter for my claim I took her a list of all my problems that my stroke ect left me with and for the first time ever I was actually honest and told her how much they affected me I left this letter with her for her records ...I was completely stressed out at the appointment and told her this and to be honest it was clearly evident ..she said she understood and I hope she noted this in my records by this point I was so stressed I couldn't think straight...this whole process is making me unwell stressed and depressed and adding to my problems should I mention this on my form and get my careers to mention it as well in thier statements...My issues are not straightforward and because a lot of my issues are from the 80s and I am not in contact with the consultants anymore I worry constantly that this will count against me....they signed me off because there was nothing more they could do not because I was better ....

Got the dreaded form today...I am just wondering if you have a guide somewhere where it helps you with the wording of your answers ..and should I start by saying why I can't do ..how it would effect me physically I had tried to do it ..what could happen if I did ...who helps me or does it for me and why they do it...I am looking for the correct order to put things in ..for additional information...

And do you think because my stroke was in 84 should I ask them to try to look at my past info about this ...I have No access to the info and cannot afford my medical records ...my doctor knows about it and is mentioning in her letter .so it's not like i am making it up..should I mention the name of all previous consultants I have seen and the hospitals I have seen them at...most of them are long since retired...
