Is it worth amending letter manually?

Hi

I had cfs since 2008 and was diagnosed in 2009.

I’m just about to send my pip form off and have just been given a supporting letter by my doctor. Her letter mistakenly says i had it since 2010 however I need to send form Monday special delivery first thing as my deadline is the Tuesday and I already have had 3 extensions.

Clinic have told me letter can’t be edited until tuesday so I either send now as is or I send seperately after Form deadline.

I’m making an issue out of this as 2008 shows my condition is long standing and I’d like to get long award. Should I Write in the form the letter is In error and should I get it amended or is the 2 years likely to amount to no real longer award so better to just leave as is?

Thanks.

Hi, personally I would include a note in the form saying you will be sending a letter you are waiting for and will be sending it very soon. Then send it a soon as you can, and phone them when the tracking says it has arrived, to check/nudge that the letter has been connected with the form.
Best wishes

Hi. I personally would strike through the date given and put the correct date. I have done this on hospital letters before when they put onset date as 2012 instead of 2010. As long as you include a letter that supports the date. Also put in brackets (see letter dated blah) next to the crossing out.
