Medical Evidence was created by Hughie

Hi again
You may recall I recently asked a question regarding whether or not someone has to be invited by the DWP to claim PIP if they are on DLA, as my friend was not sent a PIP. We have now found out that his Rep from an earlier DLA claim had asked the DWP to send out the PIP2 without my friend knowing??
We are now treading very slowly through their Statement of Reasons and the Tribunal has said it did not look at one report from my friend's GP, because it preferred other evidence. Are they allowed to pick and choose? Surely they have to give all evidence presented to them the same consideration, or am I once again just grabbing at straws. Many Thanks.

Proving the panel have provided adequate reason for preferring one set of evidence over another then it is not an Error, they are entitled to do this.
