GP supporting letter for PIP - could it actually harm my case?

Basically, it contains some important information but doesn't state that I have autism, which is fairly central to the claim, and it only covers a couple of the descriptors. Similarly, it refers to 'moderate anxiety and depression'.

    Whichever benefit this refers to, whether it's PIP or the work capability assessment then neither of them are about a diagnosis, so it doesn't matter. If you have a copy of the Autism Assessment report then send that.
