DOCTORS VISIT

I won't bother asking the doctor to fill out the ESA113 form to have a home visit. It is too short notice and like you said I may not get one anyway. I will try and get him to fill out a supporting letter for me, though. If he does this for me do I take it with me to the medical or do something else with it?

Hi D37,

I have merged your threads, please do not post related questions on seperate threads.

If the letter of support, is helpful to you ESA assessment, you could take a copy along to the medical with you.

If my doctor agrees to do a supporting letter for me, does he also have to send a copy to the DWP?

Hi D37,

No, your G.P. does not have to send it to the DWP or ATOS, that is generally down to the patient.

He may choose to, as matter of your support, if you requested it. However you could only be absolutely sure that such a letter had be sent, if you posted a copy yourself by recorded delivery.

As previously advised, you could also take a copy to the medical, and hand it to the ATOS HCP.
