Dear Ms [surname]
I have recently received a DLA form from the Department for Work and Pensions but I have not yet completed it as from my current understanding you seem ineligible to claim this benefit
Please refer to the link below for eligibility.
This benefit usually applies to people who need help with washing/dressing or meal making or who are unable to walk unaided.
Please make an appointment to discuss this in more detail if you feel I have not properly understood things from your perspective.
Yours sincerely
Dr M Daniels
Imperial College Health Centre

And a doctor finally bothered to ask me, when checking about reproductive health stuff recently, if she actually needed to ask about this because if I didn't have intercourse then she could probably skip the questions and give me less frequent check ups.
Haha- I think you may be right about the constant BMIs. Like, both myself and my dad do KNOW our shirt size, and that we are fat, and also that there is a range of reasons for that including meds we've been on. But we've both had a number of doctors tell us about our BMIs in a tone which suggested that we probably were just too thick to notice the size of the our bodies.
