Did you warn the DWP that you would be sending in further information at a later date? If so, they should have given you a bit of time to get this to them.
You should send your arguments and the GP report to them as soon as you can.

Hi
Yes, I have already submitted MR request.
I still have letter from GP.
I did not warn DWP I would be sending GP letter later. Is it worth sending it now?
Thank you

Your primary goal is to show that you meet the requirements of the legal definitions against which you are being assess, so first of all make sure that you understand what these are, the PIP2 form offers only a précis of these.
Treat the definitions as they are written, don't try and bring them to your conditions and limitations, bring your limitations to the Descriptors where you can, so make sure that you have made appropriate use of "reliably" and "on the majority of days".
Many Descriptors have more than one element, you need to meet all of them to score.
I'm not suggesting that you ignore the assessment report, but deal with the issues it raises by explaining why you meet a Descriptor and that as a consequence the assessors opinion in incorrect.
If yo have to specifically reference the report, stick to matters of fact wherever you can.

I have obtained a copy of ATOS report and written a draft of the discrepancies with the discriptors we believe to be 'best fit'.
We now have a Letter from GP.
Can you offer any more advice?
Thank you

Shall I also send my response to the ATOS report ( with what we deem to be 'best fit' descriptors?
Or just send gp report?
