Overloaded with old files. For a person old enough to have achieved lifetime DLA, do you agree it's fine to recycle any medical papers eg hospital clinic outcome letters dated 2015 or before? How recent should they keep?
Thanks,
Denby

Hi denby,

Not sure if it's the same with medical papers etc, but I know a lot of work places keep paperwork for 6 years plus the current. Me personally, I've kept everyone since I was a child, but I put it onto electronic storage rather than all paperwork.

Regards, Chris.
