<\/strong><\/p> The guidance for both benefits tells claimants that when making their claim they should provide the evidence that they already hold and that they should not request additional evidence for which they may need to pay, for example from their GP.

At Mandatory Reconsideration the guidance encourages claimants to share any new<\/em> medical evidence they may have received since their original claim.
