Little evidence

Hi everyone, I work full time and struggle to get gp appointments so I have not got that much evidence. I have been self medicating for 18 months plus on paracetamol and ibuprofen. I have recently started amitriptyline 10mg at bedtime to help me get comfortable with pain at night. I was wondering would it be worth adding a covering letter/note to my first ever PIP claim explaining a day in the life of my condition and me plus why there is little evidence on my file. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis 2 years ago and suffering with fingers and knee pain. I do use several aids to assist me in the kitchen and bathroom.
Look forward to your advice
Thanks M

Hello David,

You are right. It is very good to ask for letters of support.

For my existing PIP review I sent my next door neighbour of a few years to write a letter of support ie she questioned my scratches and bruises one day and I replied I had fallen at home and gone to A&E (and had a CT Scan of my head) among other things.
I also got a letter of support from my 17 years old child who helps me with some daily living activitis.

At my previous pip review I had asked quite a few people who refused to give me a letter of support and I felt so uncomfortable asking.
But my next door neighbour and her daughter at the time wrote one each for me, when I almost did not ask them, feeling down that so many people refuse to write me a letter of support for my disability.
Also knowing me for a few year they could testify how my mobility deteriorated.

If that is any help to anyone, my previous next door neighbour, did not write her new address ( she had just moved to a new address and fair enough did not want to include it) , she mentioned she was living just next door to me at my address for x years.
I was told a letter of support did not have to have an address?

If someone is reluctant to write a letter of support because they do not want to write down their address, my previous next door neighbour wrote her email and telephone number instead, same with her daughter living at another address.
They told me that nobody contacted them for further information even though there is a possibility they could be I imagine.

Best wishes
