The lad hasn't seen a GP for his disabilities ever, and no specialist has seen him since he entered "Adult Service" (budget cuts). The last time he saw a GP was over a year ago for a minor ailment. Plus our GP has changed so often in the past few years that there is no continuity of "personal Knowledge" at all.

Still waiting on the DWP phone to answer.

The PIP letter has a write up (by a male despite his being interviewed by a very young woman) that reads like it was written by a 10 year old.

The report says they cannot consider his problems with shopping, shaving or walking on uneven surfaces and slopes. And because he moved 10 paces from the waiting area to the interview room he is considered fully mobile!
