Hi Jaime,

I should think that if a Neurologist has put you on new medication, it is to help alleviate the symptoms of your condition, and could only ever be interpreted as such.

Re support group, obviously if your limitations are increased for any reason, and these added limitations mean that you should qualify for the support group, I would make this fact known to DWP/ATOS.

cheers

yeah he said that it might help with pain but no guarantee but it will be at the cost of my independence and mobility would you just put this on the form when it comes or is it worth speaking to dwp or atos now just confused thanks

Hi J,

Have you actually started taking the new Meds yet, thus you are now enduring the added limitations that you mention.

You only have to inform the DWP, if your condition/limitations change, for the better or the worse.

This is a legal requirement, however if your condition/limitations have not altered, you should not have to inform them yet.

cheers
