Think I have made a mistake on UC form about treatments

Hi all,

I filled in my UC application form for migrating from ESA just over a couple of weeks ago. I think I have made a muck up on the treatments section under the helath 'to do' section. I am on quite a lot of medication, but I did not include this information under the treatments section. I know someone else has asked the same question under this thread:

www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/forum/10-dla-e...s-medical-treatments

The answer given is as follows:

"The government definition is"- Medical treatment” means all procedures for diagnosing, or treating any physical or mental illness, infirmity or defect. So counselling and medication would be included."

I am now shitting myself that because I haven't included this information, it may cause problems in future such as if I have a WCA and I haven't listed my medication.

I have a couple of questions which are as follows:

1) Does medication count as a treatment for the application. If so is there a way that evidence for it can be added to my UC application? Can I contact my work coach for instance and ask for an upload link so it can be included or will a list of it on my journal be enoughif I ask the work coach to add the list to my application?

2) As I am migrating from ESA, will they get this information from them anyway?

I am kicking myself that I didn't read the form properly, in that you could add more than one treatment.

I used the Citizens Advice Help to Claim service and I can't remember whether they said to include medication as treatments or not.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Kuju2

The answer will vary depending on which ESA group you were in WRAG or Support ?

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

When I did mine I didn't put on my medication. I only put on the treatment that I get at hospital.
