    If you are lucky, your claim will be refused and no further action taken. However, it is clearly fraud - not being able to get a GP appointment is no excuse. I don't know how likely you are to face charges, but you should seek legal advice if you do.

    Hi, I have never been sectioned, but I have seen a community psychiatric nurse, a counsellor & other medical professionals for a number of years.

    I have self harmed before, which I stated in the interview. I have suicidak thoughts on a regular basis. I take anti depressants & a sleeping tablet.

    Could you have not asked your CPN or Counsellor for a supporting letter to go with your claim form if you were unable to see your GP?

    A little late for that now, as the damage has most likely already been done.

    I meant at the time he was filling in his application and before he was summoned for a medical.
