  6. Q2: listing your health professionals
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.
