I still have no report

stranger

In May, I was diagnosed with ASD and was asked if I wanted my report. I said yes. 6 weeks later, I hadn't heard anything and asked for this report. I was given different infromation by different people - I wasn't registered at the GP surgery, they (CMHT) have lost report and was then "I have no idea what you mean".

I was promised a letter and had to phone up again last week for it. My letter? It was just I have ASD and that I am now discharged.

I have asked time and time again for a report I've been promised and have had to get PALS and the branch officer of my local NAS involved.

I have since been told they don't give out reports any more. Is this true? I need my report. I can't sort out my benefits without it and am fed up having to ask my GP to write letters for me to prove that I'm on the spectrum.

  • is there any way you can speak to the person who either said you can have a report or who disagnosed you?

    i think getting a face to face meeting with someone will help too, rather than over the phone as the system does tend to send you from one person to the other, passing the buck, where as face to face they cant do it as much

    it wouldn't surprise me if they had stopped these reports, they stopped doing most other things like doctors letters, sick notes etc etc, they have made the system as bureacratic as possible 

    but to be honest, if your gp is still happy to write you those letters, then you have soemthing, they dont do that either in most places now

    really all you can do is explain you have autism to people and what that means, and if its official get the doctor, or person who disagnosed you to support that

    even that letter saying you have asd is enough to show it 'officially' despite it being a really lazy badly written one
