Sorry everyone, but I can't seem to stop worrying, I have GAD. Since my telephone assessment, she asked if my GP had Increased my meds. He said that he didn't want to increase them, because I'm already on a high dose. Will this go against their decision, because they might think, It can't be bad, If her meds are the same. Constantly worrying ! Thanks In advance for any replies.

Hi there
In my opinion i dont think you should worry it isnt about the meds taken bit more about the condition and how it prevents you from being able to work -

Thanks for your advice ? -
I'm sure it will be as Jane has advised, The assessors mainly look at certain physical &/mental activities to see if you would be able to work or not.

Medication is not a factor, its about how you function every day, (Removed by moderator).
