The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Letters count, prescriptions count

Ive managed to sort an online account out at my doctors which gives me the past 12 months I've requested a full summary so I'll wait and see if they agree again.Originally Posted by Suzi

I've no appointment letters as I just get a text message from the doctors, I didnt keep the wellbeing letters as didn't think I'd ever need them.
Were they just appointment letters or clinic write up type letters...

Ive one appointment letter from the doctors that was requesting a follow up from Christmas eve. I've text messages still from all my appointments.
I've requested my full medical record but it was rejected again today by the surgery surely I should have access to this?
My partner filled in the esa form on the computer for me which were due to send off but I'm hoping they give me access to my records so I can print off the supporting documents and prescriptions
Appointment letters don't count as evidence. Prescriptions do - but you can just scan in the boxes of your medication. Clinic letters count.... This is from the action for ME site, but it's a good basis....

Well I've called the doctors again and asked why they declined me access,there reviewing it tomorrow I told them I need it to help with ESA & pip and the print it at home. It sets my mind off thinking about what there hiding, etc I'm sure it's nothing just frustrating when I'm only trying to provide information which might help me
I doubt they’re trying to hide anything - it’s more likely, I’d think, it’s a cost issue ......

It's normally down to time, cost and GDPR - it's a 2 way street and they need written permission from each dr you've been seen by.... But as ESA And PIP contact them anyway, there really is no need to get your whole history and tbh I don't think it'll mean that much....

I've wrote the doctors a letter requesting the information hopefully I can send it off at a later date to the ESA & PIP.
nervous as I've work again tomorrow I'd rather just stay in and hide at the moment seems to be getting harder to go out again.
Seem to have picked up a bad habit again when I'm stressed I pull my hair out as I've not shaved for a while my beards all patchy as I'm constantly pulling bits out.
