    I wouldnt do anything yet, although you are feeling better now it may not last. (dont want to give you a downer) I did the same and went back to work thinking i was better but i was wrong. And you have terrible trouble trying to get your benefits back
    I agree, if anything discuss this with your doctor/specialist first. With this drive to get people back to work you might lose it when really you should be entitled.

    Yes, I'd certainly leave for the medium-term. Coming off now would undermine any subsequent claim should you relapse. However, like others, I applaude your honesty - a rare commodity. Take a longer view of your situation. If, in 18 months, you still feel the same then you will have a better understanding of how things might pan out.
