Contribution Based ESA and additional medical illness

[Kiki7976]

I have MS on Contributions Based ESA. No probs. I've been diagnosed with a blood condition called ET. Discovered through blood work for MS. No symptoms. Doc keeps eys on platelets. No I need to tell ESA? ESA claimed for MS not this. Really scared start claim all over again. Ironically I mentioned it in passing today on the phone to ESA today. She didn't seem too bothered. She explained I had to have another review for the Support Group I'm in which is fine- it has been 16 years I've been in it so I'm not surprised, I guess. I said I could mention it at the pending review next year and she said ok. K

There isn't much point reporting a new condition if you are already in the Support Group as it isn't possible to increase the level of the award.

Ionically, i brieffy mentioned it in passing today on the phone to ESA today. She didn't seem too bothered. She explained I had to have another review for the Support Group next year.I'm in which is fine- it has been 16 years I've been in it so I'm not surprised, I guess. I said I could mention it at the pending review next year and she didn't seem bothered, being honest lol
