Re: The state benefits system mega-thread.
There may be instances where access to medical records would help, but on the whole, the mass of info might overwhelm decision makers and they would cherry pick entries. It will be full of medical terms and abbreviations.
Any references to what the patient/claimant has said as to how a condition affects them, doesn't carry much weight unless it is within what can be expected with that medical condition.
Often with a medical condition there is a point where nothing more can be achieved and you don't bother the GP. That seems to be taken as a negative thing and a sign that there is no problem.
