Well after days of stress and worry i had my medical today for esa from ib and it seem to go ok.
I have Epilepsy and with the worry have been having a few more fits then normal but i was with the Nurse for only 20 mins and she just asked things about how it affects my day to day living and took details of my meds and bits like that.
At the end i asked about the points and she said that its DWP that comes up with each persons points total and for some reason she said she was doing the medical as a email to dwp which i though was a bit strange.
so now here comes the wait and im hoping it wont take them too long to do and she did say that if i didnt agree with what ever dwp make then i can appeal.

On both my medicals i didn't get told but put in the WRAG, they can't tell you there and then because they don't have the final say..
They make recommendations which are reviewed by the DWP decision maker..I always take the moral high ground, it's lovely up here...0
