GP Refusal(s) re Classification/DS1500 Form For PiP/DWP?
Posted , 5 users are following.
My new NHS-GP had previously refused to complete my DS1500 form & today, I had written confirmation of this after:-
1) i had been confirmed with having a tumour of the Pancreas in early Oct. 2014, why? &;
2) I had symptoms of this from early June 2014(my former GP practise refused me physical examination) why? &;
3) this former GP had damage of my immune system since 2008 but had refused then, my request for investiation, why? &;
4) it was DWP staff who in late Sept. 2014 stated that; (a) I had 'a terminal Illness,' &; (b) instructed me to go to my new GP practise & get him to complete a DS1500 after; (c) I notified them of my change in circumstances (My Tumour) &; (d)they DWP, confirmed that I had applied for PiP in late 2013 but which still has not been processed, why?
5) what shall I do, can anybody advice please for, (a) I cannot get PiP without my GP, completing this form & according to DWP I'm entitled? &; (b) my former GP refused in 2008/2009 to complete DLA forms, even though I've had serious comolications to my spine since, 1999/2006/2008? Thank you.

I had my esa stopped based in her statement even though my doctors have stated I am not fit for work and no one will insure you to work with machinery when you are on medication like tramadol.
I write to Ian Duncan and then I wrote to mu local MP who has been fantastic and rang DWP and sorted it out within Half a day. if you are as lucky as me to have a good MP. I must point out they are duty bound to put you to the top of the list and if you are lucky he she will help you. if you need more help I can help.

Something i learned on that group about treatment through NHS that is not consistent with your experience, if i understand it, not sure that i do, was that if you had a tumor on the pancreas, even if it was likely to be benign, it was considered to be cancer until proven otherwise, and thus, such cases were prioritized and there was a rigid standard time frame (something like 30 days) at which point the case had to be treated. Any cancer diagnosis was treated as urgent, there seemed to be agreement on that, although sometimes cases could fall through the cracks and patients had to advocate for themselves, whether through their consultant or by changing medical centers. Again, this is foreign to me, just telling you what i read on that group where patients share experiences. i was on the group this year between June and September.
(Insulinomas are usually but not always benign and one doesn't know for sure until surgery and pathology of the tumor).
Reading your post, i was just wondering, when you say you were confirmed as having a tumor of the pancreas in October 2014, how was that confirmed? What diagnostic procedures did you have, and are the results documented, are there medical reports? Do you have copy of documentation or can you get it? Is there any more specific diagnosis than 'tumor of the pancreas?' Do you know what kind of pancreatic tumor you have? There are various kinds, with different treatments and prognosis. You said that in September 2014 that DWP staff stated that you have a 'terminal illness.' Do you know any more specific information about the diagnosis? I'm not sure what they mean by terminal. Did they tell you there is no treatment? or have they discussed treatment with you?
Sorry if my questions are ignorant. I don't know what a DS1500 is. i don't know what DWP stands for (i live in Los Angeles--here it stands for Department of Water and Power, not very popular).
I was just prompted by your post to write because i feel so concerned that you have a serious illness without much information about what it is or what to do in order to have treatment for it. On the insulinoma list there were people, including the person who started the group, who have malignant insulinoma and are living and functioning (working) after many years, although they had some really complicated difficult surgical treatmens for these tumors which, if malignant, can be recurrent.
Because i don't understand your situation, i can't help thinking that this might be a case for an attorney, if they are delaying treatment for a 'terminal illness,' which could make a difference in your outcome.

In 2013, another Consultant confirmed my condition as being serious & when his injection did not work, I was sent(I thought for spinal surgery) to another Spine Consultant but they were economical with Truth and I was refused surgery &, refused referall to external county for surgery!

I should try writing/complaining to my MP(member of Parliament, Senate in USA) like above mentioned but letters to him/to government ministers, others medical departments alongside all my other letters, is a bit much & somewhere I need to tidy through my mountain of paperwork for solicitors/lawyers too... thanks

Myscan did not find the tumour had spread anywhere else, so that's positive! But I only have their word for that, I've not been shown anything/scans however, at some point, we have to trust these doctors that their not lying even though many are full of half-truths! :-)
Yes I'm frustrated but thankful, blessed by people like you, who've been through the process, so that we can ask questions, this benefits most persons, who've just been identified with Cancer/Tumours. Thanks.
