All I can suggest is that you give your local DWP office a call for an update.

Good luck

Thanks for your views... I will wait a couple of days to allow them time to do the paperwork then contact the DWP.

Hi L944,

It looks like Gordon's comments were most pertinent in your case. :)

That is good news, thanks for letting us know.

Didn,t realise you can call within a couple of days of medical to obtain results, is this correct?
