Welcome to updoc: Your Trusted Source for Disability Confirmation Letters

‍

Living with a disability can sometimes mean needing extra support in everyday life. A Disability Confirmation Letter provides a professional way to explain your accessibility needs more clearly. It typically includes the type of disabilities you have and how they affect your day-to-day life. At updoc, GMC-registered Partner Doctors can issue supporting documents, if deemed appropriate, without the need for in-person appointments.

‍

What is a Disability Confirmation Letter?

‍

A Disability Confirmation Letter is a formal statement of your accessibility needs. While it is not a diagnostic assessment, it can act as a supportive statement from a healthcare professional. For many people, having something in writing can make everyday requests, such as asking for reasonable adjustments, feel easier and less stressful.

‍

This type of letter may be helpful when applying for housing or tenancy adjustments, seeking assistance during travel, or communicating with schools, universities, employers, or local services. By presenting your needs in a structured and professional way, the letter helps ensure that they are understood and taken into account where appropriate.

‍

Types of Disability Considered

‍

Disabilities and health conditions can take many forms. Your Disability Confirmation Letter, if deemed appropriate, may take into account:

‍

• Visual Disability (e.g. partial sight, blindness)
• Mobility Limitation (e.g. walking difficulties, use of mobility aids)
• Hearing Loss (e.g. partial or profound hearing loss)
• Speech or Language Difficulty
• Continence Difficulty
• Learning / Cognitive / Neurodiverse Condition (e.g. ASD, ADHD, dyslexia)
• Mental Health Condition (e.g. anxiety, depression, long-term needs)
• Behavioural or Conduct-related Condition (e.g. challenges affecting behaviour or social interaction)
• Progressive or Long-term Health Condition (e.g. multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, chronic illness)
• Other (please specify)

Please note: For certain applications, such as disability benefits (e.g. PIP) or statutory assessments, you will need to apply through NHS or government channels. The letters issued by Partner Doctors through our platform are designed to support, not replace, those processes.

How a Disability Confirmation Letter Can Help

‍

It can help with applications such as:

‍

• Housing or tenancy adjustments, for example requesting priority for accessible housing or adaptations within your home.
• Priority seating or travel assistance, such as airport wheelchair services, priority seating on trains, or travel cards recognising accessibility needs.
• Access to events, venues, or theme parks, including requests for step-free access, companion tickets, or reserved seating.
• Everyday accommodations to reduce barriers, for example adjustments at schools, universities, libraries, local councils, or workplaces.
