Recent Medical - Advice for anyone attending

Recently had to attend a F2F medical with Maximus.
They didnt re-send my ESA50 out but they had the one sent in approximately 2years ago.

I would recommend that you read the updates via the guide on the forum and have yourself prepared with the new updates, revisions that they have made.

In my medical they didnt ask specific questions relating to but asked what a typical day is like.
They skirted round what is essentially the questions you answer in the ESA50 but dont ask you directly.

It very misleading in my opinion.

Thanks to this forum and the awesome subscription section I was able to pick up on this and intejected giving all the relevant information that they indirectly request.

Hi Pip,

I am glad to hear that you found our guidance on taking part in an ESA "medical" helpful, and that you were able to input the relevant information due to the guidance !

Please let us know when you hear from The DWP confirming what we hope will be a positive decision.

Thank you for this post, Pip; you have saved me a lot of work and problems. I must have missed something about the Guides being updated in March (I only had the Guides from February), and knowing that the medical process might not be as I have experienced in the past is also helpful.

Good luck on your decision for a favourable outcome.
