ESA Support Grp post cancer capability for work was created by WimbledonP
Hi I am in the support group, following severe affects following radiotherapy 12 years ago, that cured my cancer but has left me unable to work due to the side effects of the treatment, resulting in ongoing chronic pain and more recently necrosis of my jaw. I was also subsequently diagonosed with colon cancer in 2013, which while treated, has created other side effects. I see that there is a question on the form to declare my condition relating to post cancer treatment and also requiring me to get my GP to complete part of the form.
Is there any advice as to whether I should any more than tick the boxes on page 4, declaring post cancer treatment, leaving the detail to the GP?
Has anyone else received feedback from completing this questionnaire, following complications from cancer treatment?
Any advice would be very welcome.
Thank you

Providing your GP is prepared to confirm the effects of the radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy are still having a significant effect on your daily living then I would only complete the sections required for a claim on this basis. The DWP will tell you if they do not accept your circumstances and you can then fill the form in, in more detail.
