New PIP claims
Independent evidence from the outset, describing your real day to day difficulties.
PIP and disability benefits · Independent evidence
A PIP decision turns on how well your condition is understood. I am an experienced GP on the GMC GP Register, and I prepare clear, honest medical evidence describing how your condition affects your daily living and mobility — for a new claim, a mandatory reconsideration, or a tribunal appeal.
What it is
The piece most people miss is that the assessor may never see the day to day reality of living with a condition. A clear, independent report puts that reality on the record.
I take the time to understand your conditions, I read the evidence you provide, and I write a structured report describing how your health affects the areas PIP looks at: daily living and mobility. It is honest and specific. I do not exaggerate, because accuracy is what gives a report weight with decision makers and tribunals.
Where mental health is part of the picture, my special interest in psychological medicine helps me describe its effect calmly and fairly.
How you are assessed
Assessments are done by secure video, which suits many people with mobility or health difficulties, and your report is delivered by email. Where an examination would genuinely add to the evidence, I will say so — face-to-face appointments at our Palmers Green clinic and home visits are available from Wednesday 12 August 2026.
The report is prepared by Dr Mitesh Parmar, MBBS MRCGP, GMC 6113670, an experienced GP with a parallel medico-legal practice. Clinique Alpa is registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and every report is independent, impartial and written in plain English.
When it helps
Whether you are starting a claim or preparing for a hearing, independent evidence is prepared the same way: carefully, honestly, and on time.
Independent evidence from the outset, describing your real day to day difficulties.
Refused, or awarded fewer points than you expected? An independent report can be submitted with your reconsideration request.
Preparing for an independent tribunal hearing? A clear, objective report supports your case.
What is included
A report is only as strong as the assessment behind it, so every report starts with a proper consultation.
A proper consultation, by secure video.
A careful read of the evidence and records you provide.

Independent, by design
A medical report is independent evidence, not advocacy. I do not write what a claim needs; I write what the clinical picture supports. That is precisely what makes a report useful — accuracy is what gives it weight with decision makers and tribunals.
No report can guarantee an award, and anyone who promises that is not being straight with you. The decision rests with the DWP or the tribunal. What you receive is clear, honest, independent evidence that reflects your condition accurately, which you can submit in support of your claim at any stage.
Honest and specific. I do not exaggerate, and I do not overstate. Reports and letters are issued where clinically appropriate after assessment.
No guaranteed outcome. The decision always rests with the DWP or the tribunal, never with the report writer.
Deadlines respected. Tell me about a reconsideration or tribunal deadline and I will prioritise your report.

Every case needs a medical assessment. The fee depends on the length and detail of the report, and I confirm it before I start.

Questions, answered plainly
It is an independent report or supporting letter, written by a GP, that documents your health conditions and describes, with clinical evidence, how they affect your daily living and mobility. It is written with the areas PIP looks at in mind.
No, and anyone who promises that is not being straight with you. The decision rests with the DWP or the tribunal. What I provide is clear, honest, independent evidence that reflects your condition accurately, which you can submit in support of your claim.
Yes. Many people come to me after a refusal or a lower award than expected. An independent report can be submitted as part of a mandatory reconsideration request, or for an appeal to an independent tribunal.
It depends on the length and detail of the report. As a guide, a disability supporting letter is £500 and a standard medical report starts from £120. I confirm the fee before I start, once I understand your case. Full pricing is on our appointments and fees page.
No. The assessment can be done by secure video, which suits many people with mobility or health difficulties. In-clinic appointments and home visits are also available from Wednesday 12 August 2026.
After the assessment, and once I have your supporting evidence, a report is usually ready within a few working days. If you have a reconsideration or tribunal deadline, tell me and I will prioritise it.
