support group - rare disease

I have been asked to attend a medical even though I have been in the support group for 3 and a half years.I was forced to retire early from my job due to my health probs.
I have to have blood infused every three weeks as I have no immunity. ( This helps me have a little protection against some infections)
consequently I was picking up too many infections from people in my workplace. My right lung is now not working due to constant infections over the years (bronchiectasis).
My doctor said I needed to retire in order have some kind of life!

The problem I have is that I cannot find a section in the ESA questionnare apart from the plasmapheris section - (which is not the same but is close) that I can use to justify not being able to work.
I could not even work in a shop or any place where there are people and infections and my own husband has to sleep in another room so I don't pick up 'germs'!

Can you help me determine how I can present this at all as my disease is very rare.
Thanks to any advice I may receive x

Have you had a look at our ESA guides? Do you think the exceptional circumstances might be appropriate?

I will have another look thanks Mrs H - do you know what page as I am not too familiar with it. x

Page 12 deals with WRAG and page 20 with the Support Group.

thanks again Mrs H

You could cite as mentioned earlier in the thread, Section 35(2)(a and b) of the Employment and Support Act 2008 as amended.
