ESA50 re-assessment

I have re-assessment form to complete (ESA), as my condition has become worse. At the last re-assessment I sent all my evidence. This time shall I just send the new letters received from doctors since last re-assessment or the complete evidence again. Secondly, should just copy word for word of last ESA form and adding extra bits?
Thanks

  •  Why would you copy word for word when you state your condition has got worse?

    I have many illnesses, some require different medicines. I didn't mean exactly word for word the complete form. Changes in medicines, scans, etc I could add. 

    Plus the evidence from last reassessment or the whole lot?
    Thanks

    Are you reacting to a regular demand for re-assessment by DWP or , because your conditions have got worse, have you asked DWP to reassess you ?
    You should send everything you have , especially all doctors' ( especially consultants') reports and any other health professionals' comments. In fact actually ask your consultant(s) to write a special report specifically for this new reassessment-------I know you don't have much time but it can be done by talking to the doctor's secretary and asking for what you need as a matter of urgency, especially if you pay for private consultation.
     It sounds fine to copy any wording that remains the same as in your last reassessment ( so long as nothing at all has changed). Where anything has changed,you should go into a lot more detail, as it will be new to DWP.
    Be prepared for a face-to-face assessment by DWP's medical agents, like Atos etc.
    Good luck.
