Fantastic supporting letter from GP, but .........

I collected the supporting letter from my GP on Monday which is incredibly supportive. But the spelling & grammar are really dire (far worse then mine). I had a couple of corrections made, but it's still very poorly written and I don't think going back to the practice a second time would enhance my relationship with the surgery :blink:
Is this something the DM and Tribunal members are used to, or would it be viewed suspiciously? (has as happened to me in the past)

Hi

I think that they're probably used to it sadly. I detest bad spelling, and it usually jumps off the page (or screen!) I do make mistakes however, but that is due to 'fibro fog'!

I would also say that the fault is probably the typist's spelling, as most GPs use a dictaphone to dictate letters for their secretary.

I can understand your concerns, and ultimately if you think it could cause problems, you should consider going back to your GP.

However, The information can be validated, if needed, by a phone call to the surgery, so I would factor this into your decision.

Don't hesitate to point it out to the GP if it was secretary typed. He or she won;t take it personally, and probably would prefer to furnish a correctly spelled version as it reflects better on them as a professional. Obviously where its one single insignificant or common error then I woiuldn't bother, but if its several,. get it sorted out

Could you not explain to the secretary how to use the spelling and grammar checker? ;)

It only requires pressing one button!

But as long as it is printed on headed letter paper I wouldn't expect it to raise any suspicions.

(Taken extra care to check my spelling.)

I would be very worried if there was no spelling mistakes or the grammer was correct where is your GP from ? as the name at the bottom will tell the dm all they need to know
