ESA 50 Update

Hello everyone......
I finally ploughed through the ESA50 form for my other half, got him to sign in and it must have arrived there on time as he's still getting payment from DWP...
Wrote over the form in big black letters... medical evidence already submitted during the original claim... and any new evidence to follow....
He finally got into the Drs on the 9th and has been told to stop taking any meds other than Ibuprofen and he's getting referred back to the pain clinic to see what else they can do or recommend... the only other medication she prescribed was this drug called Sertraline which she wants him to use...probably for his depression.....
We asked her about doing some statement of facts regarding his health for the DWP,she was of the opinion that if the DWP want it they can come and ask ( Oh lord ) Tell how often she deals with ppl claiming ESA... anyway we are waiting for the phone call for the assessment but hes' got to go back in see the GP in 14 days time to see how getting on with this new drug.....probably ask again for this statement to help his case along
