so there is a chance that they can make a decision based on the new health condition i emailed in with out me having to go for a f2f,ecause of the pandemic dont know how long that i would have to wait for a f2f
-
nobody knows when f2f assessments will start again, if I had to guess i would say early summer, but there will doubtless be a backlog2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡

thanks,yes i can imagine,,,but just wanted to no if there was a chance that they could make a decission with my new health condition without me going for a f2f,,,whats the process does anyone know plz

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 -
was i sopposed to get new form for new health condition as i wasnt told this
-
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 -
i reported change of health condition in journal and also emailed the wca assessment with new health condition
-
It is your work coach that refers you for the WCA process so imas suggested you need to speak to them
