What do you do if you agree with your psychiatrist letter 99% but there’s one line in the letter you disagree with?
Would you share it with the DWP or would you make a note of the line in red pen and explain.
That your reduction in anxiety has gone from extreme to severe and that you are still working on completely reducing anxiety.
Bearing in mind the psychiatrist herself contradicted my letter a bit by saying I need a slow paced therapy for agoraphobia to overcome the panic disorder.
I frequently come across letter where the odd comment makes you think about whether to include it or not, you have to weigh the contents of the letter up. Are there more positive points than negative ones, if there are, then include it.
I have often waited for a health care plan, only to find that the contents are quite light so I have not included it as there was no beneficial interest in the care plan, the plan just stated what carers were going to do.
You can point out the positive paragraphs of the letter such as 'I need a slow paced therapy for agoraphobia to overcome the panic disorder' this usually helps.
