Vulnerable person letter template

[JohnMaunsell]

My shrink recommends I get some breathing space by getting my GP to write a letter confirming my poor mental health.

 

As the GP doesn't want to engage brain, is there a common format I can present him with so I've a fighting chance of getting something out of him before I self-destruct!

 

I've had a jolly good search up & down these most excellent forums, many references to such a letter but no actual template forthcoming.

 

Foolishly I paid £5 to pilesadvice.co.uk for such a letter but they just take the money and then don't tell you how to get the letter and their payment service provider seems to think this is OK

 

Thanks in advance for all replies,

 

John

To whom will this letter be sent? Are you looking to claim a new benefit because of your illness, or support an existing claim? Or is the letter to be sent to your employer?

[JohnMaunsell]

No benefits - no employer - long term self(un)employed - making a living income but could do better. It's to keep HMRC, bailiff's & council dept's at bay whilst I get my stuff together now that I've got meds that seem to work.

If it's to do with arrears and bailiffs, there is an excellent bailiff forum on CAG, you can find it HERE. You'll get good advice and assistance there.
