D.L.A

I received a letter today from the claims dept (I only sent in my form on Tues) telling me that they asking my G.P. for a report. Does this mean I won't have to have their doctor visit me?

You don't always have a medical for DLA. Some people get it on the basis of their form and their doctor's report. Whether you have to have a medical with an Atos doctor will depend on the DWP decision maker taking into account your form and what your GP says.

I'd make an appointment with your GP if I were you, to ensure his properly understands your difficulties and does not give unhelpful answers as a result

also at the same time give him a letter to put on your file with your problems

dont think for one minute he knows anything about how your problems affect you

for example I have trouble getting dressed need help washing someone needs to help with medication and make my meals...

your dr will have others with your problem but if he has asked them how there problem affects them and they said they get by, and your dla form lands on his desk he might get confused
