PIP Change of Circumstances Terminal Illness

I gathered as much, hence the letter to reception explaining the pad and also how to do it via NHS Digital.

I've got an email address for the practice manager now so will contact them today.

Hi Ravenmiss I'm so sorry that you are having to go through so much. I know it's not appropriate at the moment, but you might want to make a complaint against your doctor in the future. It is not difficult for them to provide the right form. BIS

Agreed, I'm treating it as a complaint now. It's sad to have to do it but they need to know. I had to complain about the hospital mum was in initially as well, it's been a poor show from doctors, unfortunately. At least her nurses and carers are amazing.

Sent off the complaint email over the weekend. Got a reply first thing Monday saying the practice manager is on leave until 7th June but one of the GPs issued the form digitally on the 13th!!!

I thanked them but explained no one had even bothered to tell us, even when I was still asking for it! So that was about 2.5 weeks ago, mum has had no call or post from DWP.

She's pretty much incoherent now, do you think I can ring the DWP to ask where it's all up to? I don't have Power of Attorney as we decided not to bother with it after finding out there's a 6 month wait.

I am so so sorry you have had this added stress xxxxxx It's really the last thing you need right now, take care xxxx
