    The Premium Bond is an asset. It may win you tons of money one day so the OR wants that asset.

    And as I said and as the guys have reiterated get all the letters and medical evidence you can. The more the merrier. Go for overkill.

    Dailey, please start your own post - it is considered bad form (rude) to post a new question (hijack) on someone else’s thread. Do so and I'm sure someone will help.

    edit to add

    I promise I will :), just don't want to upset pippa

    Saw a GP today, not mine as he has had the audacity to be on holiday for the next fortnight. But the GP was really nice, noted everything she wants to say in a letter and says it will be typed up tomorrow and I can collect it Monday so I hope this is soon enough. She said she couldn't guarantee a good outcome but would do her best saying she could see I needed the car.

    Shall I also photcopy my spinal x-ray report, my blue badge front and back and my registered disabled card for mental health to send off; would that help?

    This is not a case for less is more this is a case of the more the merrier. Send as much evidence as you can, copy it just incase it gets lost and send recorded. Can you phone any of your mental health professionals to get any letters?

    You need to keep this car for your sanity, make sure you do everything within your power to do so.

    I saw my social worker at CMHT today but I'm so embarrassed about the BR I can't face telling anyone so she doesn't know. The GP is going to mention the fact that I am under CMHT and having therapy locally and in the city and that I need the car to access that so if she remembers everything I am hoping the letter will be good. I could write a bit explaining what I need the car for, what appointments I go to and when. I'm not sure my letter would help though. But I can photocopy the three things, no one gets a blue badge for no reason and the spinal x-ray has a list of things wrong with my spine so I am hoping that helps. I know I am going to stress and worry about this until I know the car is safe. I've found out it is only worth £450 now! But it's worth more than that to me.

    Please don't be embarrassed with your CMHT, they really need to know this stuff as it goes to the way your health is. My CMHT were brilliant and very supportive and helped enormously.

    But if you don't want to say anything then yes copies of the bits you mentioned and a letter explaining everything step by step so the OR can see exactly what you are dealing with. You can probably explain it better on paper than rushed in an interview.
