Write in, asking for a review and for:
1. Copies of all papers that were before the DM at time of decision. 2. Any such review to be held in abeyance until you've had opportunity to look at papers and produce written statement on behalf of client. 3. Write to GP/Consultant asking for medical evidence - bear in mind though that their evidence will relate only to the medical condition - not the manner it affects your cl;ient on a day to day basis.
Look up the medical condition(s) and the prescribed medication in Google searches - get client to keep a daily diary of some sort - talk to partner - their view is often a bit more honest thatn the client when it comes to describing what they really can and can't do without severe discomfort, which is the test.
