ESA Medical

Hi Just got letter to attend medical next Thursday. I have Systemic Lupus and Secondary Raynauds along with high blood pressure. Does anyone have experience of these medicals and can give me some advice. My rumy this week has changed one of my drugs and has said I have to go into hospital to get rutuximab by iv do i need to inform ESA about this etc.

If it was me I would ring them up and give them the date of your hospital appointment so they can reschedule your medical

Hi Fiona

You can find detailed advise about ESA medicals in the guides in the members' area. You should tell the examining doctor anything about your health that has changed since you filled in the medical form, including hospital appointments.

Best of luck

ask ATOS and the DWP to record your medical

i'm waiting for the results of mine last week and i have the tape here to make sure it tallys with the report

hi, i had mt esa medical nearly 2 weeks ago. i have not heard anything back yet. I told the nurse i had an infusion every 14 days for the rest of my life and she basically ignored my statement.
I also read the info on infusions but assumed it was only for chemotherapy
