Ive given permission for the council to review my Drs records, in order to get housing, bad idea?

Or good idea?

So the council wanted permission to see my Drs record and she said it would assist get me getting housing. 

The problem is I rarely contact my Drs so my record is very sparse, I only tend to go if I need meds which I avoid like the plague or if there's a physical problem I try to fix alot the psychological stuff myself by reading and researching, im also a "tough mucker" I try to push through it all, and some of it is very embarrassing. Then when I really do need help ive asked and been denied sometimes and that doesnt get recorded. Then alot of 111 99 calls and hospital visits and even reports of suicide dont even get put on my record, not even panic which has been extreme for a very long time

So Im thinking they may view it and it will  vastly undersell how bad my problems are/get.

Fortunately I have other evidence to support my case. 

BUT should I now deny this ability or leave it open, they probably wont get me housing anyway because the system is broken, on the other hand I may get more money if I supply that and further evidence (which I have, hospital visits, help from foreign Drs, and at my own surgery where ive told them of problems but they didnt make it onto my record summery (which is unfairly sparse)

What do you guys recommend and what do you think of mixing benefits with Drs work in general?

if it's the only way to get what you need then I'd say it's essential.
