obviously with the same panel members :S the solicator one was a right dragon ,think she thought she was still in court,firing questions at me in a manner that said i dont believe you and saying things like "dont expect me to believe that you didnt say that",quit intimidating the doctor was nice though ,also he read something out from the asthma nurse saying that i had told her i enjoyed light excercise ,i can definetly say i have never told her that ,quit funny really if you knew me personally ,should i have a word with her and ask her to retract that statement

I'm not even sure that you can, but it would likely cause more questions than leaving it alone.

The panel can only consider your conditions and limitations as they were at the time that the Decision you are appealing was made so they cannot take into account any change that might result from the steroid injections.

Whether you should have them or not and whether they would impact on your claim are matters that you really need to consider yourself. obviously, if they result in a sustainable improvement in your condition then this would be something that you would have to report to the DWP but that does not mean that it would definitely have an impact on an award.
