Another query from me about same form but a different issue - hence the separate post.

They ask for a list of my "hospital or clinic" appointments. I've had scores of them (surgery says they have 155 letters from hospitals).

How far back do I go?

Do they really need to have the details of every podiatrist apntmt (I have diabetes and see them every 3 months)

What about major surgery - but more than 10 years ago?

Does my regular diabetic checks with the specialist clinic at the surgery count?

I would start by going back a year, regular appointments are important even if the actual meeting is relatively trivial as it shows an on-going requirement for treatment or monitoring. Further back than a year then pick what you include based on your current conditions and limitations, for example ; if you had surgery for something that no long impacts on your daily living then I would not include it, but if it does then it may be worth adding. Finally, if you conditions are unlikely to improve or can even worsen then letters and reports that reference this should always be included as they set a marker as you were at a point in time.
