hi, I’ve suffered with rhuemotiod Arthritis which has damaged various joints , I currently get standard daily pip, my first review form was sent in October, the following month into December I suffered severe uvetitis for the first time which ended in a hospital stay for 12 nights , I’m still on treatment , I was treated for infection on arrival however after 9 days of Constant iv drips, I wasn’t making h inprovement , my treatment changed to iv steriod and after 3 days I was discharged to continue oral and eye drop steriods , it seems likely that it was a flare up of my arthritis ( at the time there was a very low percentage of it being my arthritis doing it ) my question is can I talk about this during my assessment considering it’s looking like a complication of my current condition or should I start the process over with a new form ?? As yous alll know it’s very stressful filling forms in and I don’t have full eye sight back as yet in affected eye ( although it’s a lot better ) legally I can drive however I find , I can’t drive certain times of day ie when it’s morning but car lights are still on and I can’t drive after dark as I find the lights on opposite side of road very distracting so I won’t take the risk.
