When best to update ESA claim?

Overwhelmed1

hi does anyone have suggestions about when to update DWP about changes in your health? I’ve completed the Capability for Work Questionnaire and waiting for a reply (sent 21 March) but since sending this my GP has arranged a blood test for a new condition- should I wait for the results or inform them now? Many thanks

Hi,

If this new condition doesn't affect your working ability then there's no need to report it to ESA at all.

If you do still want to report it, I would recommend waiting until you get the results and diagnosis.
