Request for letter to support PIP claim

PLEASE NOTE LETTER REQUESTS CAN TAKE UP TO 4 WEEKS, SO WE ASK THAT YOU REQUEST THESE WELL IN ADVANCE. MOST LETTERS ARE NON-NHS WORK SO ARE SUBJECT TO A CHARGE

We do not recommend patients requesting letters for support for PIP claims. As this is non-NHS work, the letter will attract a charge. However, you are able to get all the information you require yourself from your medical record, which is available to you online via the Patient Access app.  In order to have a successful PIP claim, you need to ensure you have filled the PIP form out thoroughly, ensuring you are clearly detailing the difficulties and disabilities you have in your everyday life.

A doctor's letter will not add anything extra to this as we can only produce a letter from your records. It makes sense for you to do this yourself at no expense to you. All you need to do is to print the problem list and consultations within your medical history and then ensure you reference these in your application. The PIP assessors are looking at how your conditions are disabling you in your daily life, so it is the way you demonstrate this on your application that will help you.
