Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is
Welcome to Benefits and Work
In case you are not aware, your real name appears to be showing in the forum, if you want to change this then follow the instructions in the following FAQ
My full name is showing, how can I stop it?
There are still considerable delays in the ESA system and we have had a lot of members in a similar situation to yourself.
You are entitled to provide additional information up to and including the day of the assessment, so what I would recommend is for you to first have a look through our ESA Claim guides on the following link
www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/help-for-claimants/esa1
You can then prepare a letter that documents how you are now affected by all of your conditions, you should send a copy to the ATOS office where your assessment will be, a copy to the DWP office that is dealing with your claim and finally take a copy to the assessment if you still have one and ask the assessor to read the letter and include it in your file before they process with the interview.
As an aside, it is an ESA50 not an IB50
If you have any questions then please reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
