Came across this letter that apparently gets sent to a persons GP in relation to their P.I.P seems quite thorough...
Here is the link...

There is a part that asks a gp if the person has ever become violent :shock:

Maybe if they GP says yes ATOS won't lie and try to twist the patients words lol0

The part about violence is more pertinent for those with conditions that may mean violence is a feature such as; dementia or mental illness. Disclaimer: I am in no way suggesting that violence is a common feature of the above condition but that it can happen and risk assessments need to be done. That form would worry me because my GP barely knows me. I rarely manage to see the same GP, I have about 4 who I rotate because you can never can get an appointment with the same one.0

Same for me starburst.
I have issues communicating but how are they going to know what I don't tell them... If that makes sense?
I only ever see my GP when I need medicines prescribed so it's kept short and sweet to get what I need. I walk from the seating to the door as it's only a couple of paces so they won't understand my walking either.
I suppose she has notes from my specialists for the Arthur and for the mental health and my ibs is on record.
I used to have multiple gp's until my ruemy and myself demanded I am given a regular GP to associate with as it was just getting stupid!
They like to make these things as stressful as possible don't they.0 -
Am I missing something here? From what I understand my rheumatologist has always received my DLA forms and not my GP. Has this changed or is it the same? My GP has almost no records about my AS and not even the medication I take0

Justine maybe they are scared of getting a thump...Love

I see my rhummy and specialist nurses not my gp. He knows very little about my RA, meds or my life. Rather worrying.
