An error as basic as the wrong condition does matter yes, and you should address it. But bear in mind that the DWP are likely to argue that it's the way that your condition affects, you rather than the diagnosis, that matters.
If you have brief information about your condition you can supply as part of your written evidence, that might be helpful.
Good luck,
Steve

You should certainly draw the Tribunals attention to the discrepancy in your appeal submission, but you would be better served concentrating on how the PRA affects you. It would probably help including a symptomology for PRA if it is often confused with RA and has difference affects.

ive recently submitted an appeall and ive just noticed on the medical report for my esa that i was assesed on having rheumatiod arthris when in fact i have palindromic rheumatoid arthritis. the two are quiet different but often mixed up as no one seems to of heard of palindromic. not sure what to do now or does it not matter?gratfull 4 any advise thanxs
You should of course tell them, but paliindromic is sudden onset of pain and can go as fast too its unpredictable as to when it will happen or how long it lasts
I know which I would rather have on the paperwork

thank you jst a bit worried i might loose the 6 points i was given.
all it means is yours is erratic and unpredictable
they have a web site www.palindromicrheumatism.org/
do you get DLA ? IMO that word in front of your problem could make getting dla harder due to the fact some people with it have large gaps between problems and flare ups many of course dont, but they like to tar all with the same brush
