ESA, 2nd medical help!!!!

Hi, can anyone help me,
Had one medical a while since and placed on wfh group(i think that what it is)
but now have to have another medical, can anyone help me and tell me what this is for.
Since my first medical, my situation has worsened, after 2 operations my consultant now has told me that he can do nothing else to help.
My spine is passed mending( i have bolts and plates fusing together).
I have multi level degeneration of lower spine.
I was going to ask the health assessor to re assess me to see if i should be put inthe support group.

iHave been off work over ayear, i have recently tried for myself to do a computer course(to try and get me out of the house) but cant sit for very long to complete tasks, i thought i may be able to do desk type work but this is impossible. my wife is typing this by the way.

My company also has contacted my consultant regarding a report which will verify what im saying.

Can anyone help me and advise me what to do.
thanks
clem

    I had my second one with a nurse rather than a doctor and there was no examination. But you are required to attend the two. The first being about your condition and what you cant do, the second is about what you can do and then this is sent to the jobcentre as the report they work off rather than a doctors report.
    The person I saw was very helpful, filled in the sections whilst asking and it took about 20 mins. A lot of questions repeated themselves though!
    I was sent a copy of this about two weeks later and the jobcentre received the same copy!
