I seem to remember reading but I might be wrong that regarding the MR I can not add medical information from beyond the F2F date meaning If I see a consultant on Thursday a letter off him seeing a condition has flared up would be of no use Or am I wrong Gordon

You can add new evidence providing it is clear that it refers to your conditions and limitations as they were at the time of the assessment.

Thank you Gordon I am of a mind set I might as well give it my best shot regardless I might be able to get confirmation regarding a condition that is very much related to what I consider the Atos HP kept away from ..But seems that Consultants are giving this a wide Birth I'm guessing they are being overwhelmed with these requests, especially GP'S "4Points"..plus my MR has to be sent soon Zip & all, I will see what happens regarding this I'm not holding my breath these are busy people and time is short, even with this I'd be thinking surely that must be enough proof now ...to find its just not. But with being on here having a rant from time to time them asking a question here and there I am no longer Stressed about it at present Thank you again ...I might be running up the walls again tomorrow but for now So be it

Gordon I’ve had one of them moments where you think (light bulb) above head ..I need assistance with an injection every TWO-WEEKS would this not equate to less than 3.5hours no more than 7? as it would be safer to leave it there. But I also need assistance with another injection weekly “ it’s not insulin “ and I also needed assistance with a urethral Stick. My mind is working in a Anti-Atos manner, As on paper this could equate to more than 3.5 and 7 OR even 2x4 hours a week in a safe manner, But the 3.5 hr rule would give me the 2 points I need .. It’s about as clear as mud I know but very true I just need the 2 points to give me 12, This came to me at 5am this morning to replace Phone call reminder 7 days a week “as phone calls count for nothing I now know” So I have added the time assistance that is required to the repeat Prescriptions list I am sending to the MR next to the said Medications ...think I might be running out of feet to shoot myself in here Gordon, it could come across as trying to be a smart Artos. What do you think ..I’d say one in two people would need assistance with this particular injection whether or not they had Arthritis, poor movement or not, you see my Plight here

I'm sorry but I don't think this is going to score the points you need.

This is about taking medication, not therapy so at best you would only meet (b) for at most one point.
