Q2: listing your health professionals
This advice applies to Wales. See advice for See advice for England, See advice for Northern Ireland, See advice for Scotland
You need to give the DWP details of any health professional you've seen about your condition.
Include:
doctors, GPs, consultants and nurses
counsellors, psychotherapists and occupational therapists
people like care workers, support workers, social workers and physiotherapists
their contact details - in case the DWP need to know more about your condition
the date you last saw them
If you don’t know the exact date you last saw them it's ok to just give the year.
If a family member or friend cares for you, add their details at question 15.
Worth knowing
If you’ve not seen a health professional in the last 3 months it’s a good idea to try and get an appointment with them.
This way you can tell them you're claiming PIP and explain the day-to-day difficulties you have so that they're up to date if the DWP contact them.
