Hi
I have just been refused pip after my assessment,I have the assessors report and want to do a mandatory appeal but am finding the amount of information too much for me to take in from the help guides..I went to my gp yesterday and I said I would get the descripters and tell her which I thought I should have got and which I think apply to me,what I wanted to know is am I able to copy things like the parts where you state reliably and you should not be considered to be able to do something if it exhausts you as meeting the criteria for my gp,I just cant think straight,I have chronic fatigue and depression and have been trying all day to read things but I,m getting all mixed up in my head

If it will help there is a new document called PIP GP Notes in the PIP section that has the PIP Descriptors listed for each activity, you could give your GP this and a copy of your PIP2, so they can see what you wrote and then can make their own comments on the Notes.

Hi,yes I have looked at that but what I mean is can I actually state to her The DWP guidance also states that ‘pain, fatigue, breathlessness, nausea and motivation’ are ‘key factors’ in deciding whether an activity can be done reliably.In the gp note it does,nt say this,what I am trying to do is show her the criteria that has to be met sorry I,m not good at explaining things but cant think of another way to explain to you.

Hi Gordon,

Cant find PIP GP Notes you mentioned, I think I must be going mad! Is it in the actual guide or the page with the PIP descriptors? Apologies for pestering, but would be grateful if you can help me.

many thanks

You can tell your GP whatever you think is appropriate to your claim, the only thing to be careful of is your not telling them what to write as this can lead to their comments being disregarded.
