I recently had a doctor's appointment, and after I logged into the NHS app to see my notes, he wrote down something that completely contradicts what I am saying on my PIP form.
Basically he said my "diet is normal" but what I said to him was I hardly eat anything most of the week but when I do, I tend to eat too much.
Also, looking further down my notes, my mental health practitioner said I gave normal eye contact and was speaking fine. Without going into details, that is no further from the truth, either.
What do I do, as I can't take much more of this? If PIP contact my doctors, which I am sure they will, they will think I am lying on my pip form.
Do I make another appointment at my doctors and tell them? Or wait until my assessment and if they bring it up, explain to them?
The DWP don't contact everyone's GPs. They tend to do it if a claimant hasn't included much evidence or if they have a query about someone's condition. So it's not a given. If they contact the doctor - they will ask him to fill in a form. The doctor is giving an 'opinion'. Some points may not agree with what you put on a form - but it doesn't mean you are 'lying'. The doctor can't possibly know what you eat!
It's up to you whether you want to speak to your doctor and ask him to change the notes. He probably won't change them, but he may record that you disagree with him.
