I have MS, had to attend a f2f carried out by Capita by an ex paramedic. After 13 yrs of living with this I had reams of med notes, consultant letters etc and enclosed all the relevant ones. In the boxes where you put in extra info I kept writing 'see additional notes'. Don't feel guilty for sending too much - our attitude was you've asked how my disability affects me so read on ... I got the impression she had read all I'd sent in cause when assessed if I explained things she would say "yes, I remember reading that". Better they have too much than too little and make a poor decision. I was awarded enhanced rate for both components for 3 yrs. Think everybody is being called in regardless. Good luck Julie x
