Sorry so many things going on in my mind at the moment,
Would I be able to submit other medical evidence to the decision maker after the f 2 f medical as I had biopsys taken on Friday and not received the results as yet
Thanks again you've put my mind at some peace
Regards Alim

Yes, you can do this. Address it to 'The Decision Maker' at the address on your most recent letter about your ESA

Hi all
Well I managed to get to my f2f medical today as my anxiety was through the roof thank goodness my daughter was with me,my appointment was at 11.30,but hey ho they were running late so we waited and waited and 50 minutes later the hcp called us in by that time I was in such a state,
She started buy asking my name and date of birth,then asked which of my problems were the worst so I said all of them so she decided to concentrate on my mental health problems and how it affects my life I tried to explain but find it very hard to put things into words my daughter I'd assist me with this she seemed happy to let her promp me,then asked me if I was left or right handed which I found very strange as this has nothing to with my mental health,she asked about my medication which I gave her and typed them all into the computer and then again she asked if I was left or right don't know whether she'd forgot or this is for some other reason,Also she asked if I answered the telephone or answered the front door,and who did the shopping.I tried to give her my letters from my consultant and information about my Ibd and a recent procedure I had and she just wasn't interested,
Then she said it was over and thank you for coming all in all we were out of there by 12.45pm so it only lasted 20 minutes I don't know if this is a good thing or she wanted her dinner,just have to keep my fingers crossed all went well but not expecting a lot.

I'm glad that the f2f is now behind you. We have given up trying to guess the outcome from the way the assessment was conducted so all you can do now is wait. I hope you get a favourable decision before too long,

Hi Alim,

I should give it a couple of weeks for the report to be completed and reach DWP, then phone and request it.
