    Hi reporting a new health condition normally starts the whole process off again with new forms and assessment 

    I doubt reporting change will  influence original need for f2f as it was that original health issue they need f2f for not new one 

    However if you put everything in new form about all your conditions then they will assess everything

    It is my understanding if you report a new condition you start the process again bit I may be wrong 

    Speak to your work coach 

    Did you report it on your journal or just on the email
