Hello to everyone.

I attended my ESA Medical today. When I arrived the initial assessor told me that they did not have my Capapbility for Work self assessment form!!
Rather confused and worried as you can imagine...
When i started to explain my Medical history

*Fibromyalgia
*Central Nervous System Demyelination (Probable early presentation of MS)
*Anxiety/ Depression. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

I was told I would need to see a doctor (Initial assessor was a nurse)

So I waited...

Doctor SEEMED quite nice, although I did feel that I wasn't being heard...

Anyway I was soo tired that I forgot to ask how long approximately I will have to wait to hear anything regarding a decision...

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

Siobahn,

It cant differ greatly. I had my medical and got the result and placed in the SG in under 2 weeks,but we all know it can take longer.

When I came out of mine I just thought what is done is done, nothing could do until I got the result.

I totally understand that every case is different,I just totally put it out of my mind as worrying would have made me a lot worse.

Either way, I wish you well.

Robbie
