a GP may be asked by DWP to complete a factual ESA113 report on a patient for ESA

ESA 113 is used to collect data from your GP for Employment and Support Allowance and Universal Credit claims.

The ESA113 form is not a form that PIP use. It is used in relation to 'fit notes' and the fitness of an individual to work.
The DWP put the onus on an individual and the assessor to provide all the evidence on a claim for PIP.

Our GP was not asked to complete these forms for both our twins' ESA claims. Neither was he contacted for my son's PIP claim. I know of no-one who had an ESA113 form completed by their GP.
If a GP did complete ESA113 for any claim, you get a copy if you take it to tribunal.
PIP is not about what is wrong with you, but how it affects your life. This is where many people who previously had DLA fall down when applying for PIP. Even though the questions are basically the same, it's how the assessor/DWP consider their weight in your life.
