Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
I would start by reading our PIP Claim guide on the following link

I'm afraid it is unlikely that your GP will be contacted by the DWP.
Is the Care Plan still in operation, if so then it would be reasonable to include it.
It you have had treatment in the last few years then this should have been reported to your GP and you can access this information.
