Request for info from GP was created by emmandelo
Whenever anyone is likely to ask for a doctor's report you are almost always given the option to see that report before the GP sends it to whoever has requested it. But I note on the DLA claim form although you sign to say you've given permission for them to ask for reports etc you are not given the option to see it before it is sent on to the DWP. Why is that?

The Access to Medical Reports Act does not apply to reports requested by the DWP.
However, you could speak to your GP and ask that they show you the report before sending it back.

Whenever I complete a DLA form, I get my GP to give me a report so that I can include it with my application/renewal form. Saves everyone time, and I get my result quicker!
