Sorry i did not answer your question before the assesment is for ESA, as currently i have to go to my GP every 4 weeks. Thank you again Skylight for all your help, my head has been spinning with it all!! I just went on the parkes website and it states for my car in poor condition is £4565, thats nearly £600 more then all the other quotes I have had online

Thanks again though for your advice, I guess i will know shortly, Im terrified about the BR next week, Im hoping my mum can come with me as i really cant face anyone on my own at the moment.0 -

Is it possible to get a letter from your doctor to explain your difficulties and need for a reliable car. This may be helpful to thr OR in understanding your situation.0

I had to get letters from my doctors to prove I need it, like for appointments, or households goods, then I was aloud to have it ( Car was valued at £1100), by Parkers Car guide0

I have my appointment books, dates going up to the 7th May, i have all my medical notes as well stating what I have had done and what is happening now. it took my GP 5 months to get one sheet of A4 notes from the surgeon - so I doubt i would get a letter from him in time, it took nearly five months for the hospital to admit the operation had 'complications' !!
I could ask my GP or do you think what i have is proof enough?? I dont even know when I am getting the all clear, mind you the surgeon does not know either - its ruined my life!!0
