IBS And Incontinence Support Group ? was created by emma72
Good Evening All,
I have searched the site, but still cant find an answer to my query.
I have Irritable Bowel syndrome, which ive had since i was 13, and is getting worse over the years, especially due to Anxiety and Stress.
I've been told that if you suffer with IBS / Incontinence, it scores sufficient points for the Support Group.
Can anyone clarify this ?
I know that my Atos Doctor, asked me about this at my medical, and she went into great detail asking about this.
Any advice greatly appreciated. :huh:

Thankyou

As with most things ESA, it's not that simple.

To be placed in the Support Group for incontinence you need to show you meet the following.

8. Absence or loss of control over extensive evacuation of the bowel and/or bladder, other than enuresis (bed-wetting) despite the presence of any aids or adaptations normally used.
(a) At least once a week experiences
(i) loss of control leading to extensive evacuation of the bowel and/or voiding of the bladder; or
(ii) substantial leakage of the contents of a collecting device; sufficient to require cleaning and a change in clothing.

Hope this explains it
