hi, my husband suffers extreme paralysis in the upper part of his body, arms,hands,shoulders neck etc etc & walking also causes the paralysis & severe spasms..in fact all bodily movement brings on the symptoms it is a neurological disablement,he also had a recent heart attack & had to have 3 stents fitted into what he was told a badly damaged heart , with the neuroligical disabilty & the heart attack he is currently taking 15 different types of medication & also regular injections for the spasms ( every cpl of months) he has heard of the nightmare about being transferred from ib to esa & has discussed this situation with his gp who told him not to to worry as he would "quote" be amazed if he were to fail the assessment" & that he would "quote" again..burn down houses for him in any appeal..but he is still very worried..he also gets dla high rate care & mobilty indefinate..is it really important to have your gp on your side..or will it make no difference whatsoever?..many thanks for any input as i would really love to put his mind at rest or as best as possible

Yes it is important to have a GP who will support you with detailed and relevant evidence, you should also speak to any consultants your husband see's ,to see whether they will provide reports as well.
