Incontinence -ESA form

Hi tilly, Further to my last post in the members section dated 16th June 2009. "Claimant who can walk and run gets High Rate Mobility for Incontinence. If you go to the section you can download it.It should be taken into account at your ESA medical. If you do have any medical reports confirming your condition/s take them with you to any medical you attend, If they refuse to take them of you or ignore them, then this makes your appeal more likely to succeed because they have not considered all medical evidence. Re: Can,t wait cards i got mine from the hospital consultant if your are under a consultant phone his secretary and ask, you have to send a passport size photo and there is no charge(just your postage). Hope this helps. Best Wishes

Rosered,

You can get a "cant wait card"from the NACC....National Association for Crohns and Colitis.

Unfortunately mine is not due to chrones or colitus but to a botched operation following diverticulitus.

Hi Rosered. You should still be able to get a card, Have a word with the manager at your GPs they should be able to help you. Best Wishes

Hi Rosered

My dad got his "cant wait card" from the hospital, he has bowel cancer and ileostomy.
As far as i am concerned anyone who has any degree of incontinance should be automatically be supplied with a card instead of having to ask for one.

Best wishes
Mm

Do you need a cannot wait card from hospital - I go to an incontinence clinic (for double incontinence) and had 2 faecal accidents this week and 2 urinary - have bad week with interstitial cystis flare (I have a Cannot wait card from them) and I also have IBS..... but it does not have my photo on it. to be honest unless I am right near WC at home, I have not made it to WC when it happens......
With my pain this week - I saw an emergency doctor today - feeling like I am falling apart and not dared go out for days.

Can I write to my urologist for a Cannot wiat card or can the incontinence clinic give me one?

Kind regards

Tilly
