The reason i ask is that i am worried how they will look at an UN DIAGNOSED condition.
I injured my wrist in a car accident in February and have had continuous pain ever since however i have not got a diagnosis yet and i am still seeing different specialists.
Will an undiagnosed condition have any negative impact on my claim? or are they treated like any other condition? The only issue i can see is the atos HCP at the medical not being able to give a prognosis on when it will recover.
Having a proper diagnosis will help, but not having one will not prevent a successful claim. It is your ability ot meet the descriptors that is being tested, having a "condition" gives the DM and ATOS assessor a level of confort that their decisions are correct, but you always have to bear in mind that two people can have the same condition but very different limitations.

I have a copy of a medical report that was done after the car accident by my insurance company.
Am i allowed to send this to the DWP? The report has details of my insurance company and also the personal injury solicitors etc, isit ok to send this? it has some good imformation regarding my injuries
You can always remove the sections that you do not want ATOS or the DWP to see.
