This relates to my personal circumstances and yours maybe different.
I asked why they had not approached other doctors mentioned on my DBD551.
Response,
" You question why the DBD551 makes no reference or referral to your mental health.
The DBD551 is our inital enquiry form which requests information with regard to your current disabilities, medication and names/addresses/consent to contact any medical profession that you are currently seeing. On receipt of your completed DBD551 we subsequently contacted "my HIV consultant.""
I further note,
"The information provided in the HFR from "my HIV consultant" provides sufficient medical evidence to aid us in our decision making process. If you feel that we would benefit from any other information please feel free to provide this at your earliest convenience"
I have written back again asking why they are ignoring the medical information & consent given to approach other specialist consultants dealing with other medical HIV related issues I have. Surely having given all the current medical information and details of who to approach. I would have thought the DWP would have sought full medical reports in order to reach a proper decision based on ALL the medical information they requested and is available to them.
I know this might cause you to worry. I apologise if it does. I post to make the situation clear and create awareness.

My review started approx 10 weeks ago. Your post got me to check my answers on the first review form (I always make a copy of anything I send off, I even have a copy of my original claim form) I found that I had neglected to complete Part 4 (not intentional). I have given details of my Constultant, my G.P. and the Maudsley Hospital. I told them I had not visited my G.P. for some time since he sectioned me. It will be very interesting to see who they actually contact. I have not had the form returned for me to complete Part 4.
If you are concerned write(preferable) or phone the DWP to inform them of this. You can do that.
Let me know how it goes & thanks for your post.
