Mr C

Yes, you should inform them of the new diagnosis but these are not things that happen overnight so I hope you included the effects of these conditions on your claim form?

Mr C

You have created a problem for yourself if you did not mention the limitations that these conditions force upon you on the form. Yes, raise it at the assessment.

I did add at the very back under additional information that I had been diagnosed by the mental health people and was awaiting an assessment, also informed them the DR had stated I had severe anxiety and depression in his opinion, then upon being assessed by the mental heath team this was confirmed, but I had to return the form whilst I was waiting the mental health assessment Gordon I hope this makes sense. and yes I will be bringing this up
