couldnt get an appointment with my gp only could get get a phonecall from him , he said yes he was willing to write me a factual reporT not a problem , he asked me to jot a few things down on paper what i found difficult day to day and what help i needed and he would read it and put it into his own words lovely i thought ,spent most of the next day jotting things down as he put it , i went into great deatail on what effects me and what help i need from other people etc , took it up the doctors 4pm , next day had phone call to say report was ready i thought ooh thats quick! paid £25 to the receptionist what a RIP OFF ! my factual report was infact letter not even filling half a page consisting of about eight lines , it said sharon has schizoaffective disorder and ptsd , leading her to hear voices and have hallucinations , she requires help because of this frequently if you need any more detail please contact me , pfffffffft I felt dissapointed and a bit conned out of £25 , on the up side unless he chucks the information i gave him in the bin he has a pretty good idea of what is wrong with me and what help i need something that is difficult to get across in 10 min appoinment so he has all the information now incase Dwp contact him , i photocopied what i sent him too as its a good reference point and if anyone else wants to know whats wrong with me

its too late about putting words into the Gps mouth for me ! , my gp has never had the time to listen to me ramble on for hours on end about every detail of my problems and what help i needed and thats why he asked for me to write it all down in detail for him , the DWP are gits always looking for a loophole to prove your some sort of nasty liar, well its too late the words have been rammed firmly into my doctors mouth , on my head be it nothing i can do now tis too late im afraid ive messed up again , another thing to keep me awake a night and after all that the doctor did all flip all and gave me flimsy letter and not the report at all that i wanted so waste of time plus i feel conned out of me £25 i handed over , TUT ho hum

You can't be accused of putting words into your GP's mouth is s/he didn't actually repeat them!

I understand your disappointment! That is something you could take up with the GP or Practice Manager - if you have the time and/or energy!
