I recently had to re-apply for benefits for my son, as he is moving from the childrens benefit system to the adult system of employment-related benefits. So I had to send them "proof" of his having DS, which I did, with a letter written when he was a couple of weeks old, by his paediatrician, confirming the results of tests, and a recent recall for thyroid testing from the associate specialist. Plus a pile of educational assessment forms to show that he would need a lot of extra help if they can find him a job.
Anyway, the stupid %^&*$s at the Department of Work and Pensions have asked for a MED3 form to be filled in by his GP stating that he has still got DS with effect from the 15th January 2011 !! The mind boggles, it really does. Have you encountered any other similarly nonsensical bureaucratic procedures?
