Hi, I've just joined today and am already finding lots of useful info
My wife will be reapplying for ESA due to a change in circumstances (renal transplant) but still has numerous other health problems, together with existing transplant problems.
Her other conditions that fall within the scope of the list prepared for "being unsuitable for calling to a medical centre" include two headings within the "Reference to Medical Advisor required for advice", i.e. Respiratory failure and rheumatoid arthritis.
Does anyone have any experience about how having more than one condition affects the Medical Advisor's decision?
Many claimants have multiple conditions, so it should not be a problem.
When completing the ESA50 form about how her conditions effect her, just explain how each condition effects her and if you cannot distinguish the condition, just explain this. It's the limitations that she will be assessed against, not the actual conditions.
If you have further questions, reply to this post and we will do our best to help.
