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.

  • 2 weeks ago, I was promised a call back. Still nothing so I phoned again today. I was told that I could only get the report if it was requested by others. I was then told it wasn't the full report, that I hadn't been full assessed and that if I want (I need it) to be fully assessed, I have to go elsewhere. Except, they can't tell me who will assess me. Why has it taken 4 months to be told this?

    Needless to say I'm extremely pissed off with the service I have received. I do not understand why each time I've spoke to someone, I've been given different stories. My GP receptionist has been more helpful than CMHT have ever been in regards to this.

    I don't think you understand - I need that erport so I can prove my needs. It's all good and well saying I have Autism; but what the heck does that mean? I do not fit the stereotype and have no of my needs - that is what is needed by the benefits agency. I also need it because I am having to constantly prove to others that what my needs are.
