I’m 73 and have Addison’s disease(a condition which affects the immune system ) but on reading the information on the Association of Endocrinology it would appear I’m vulnerable but not very vulnerable, hence no letter from NHS.
I am not classified as extremely vulnerable as I have mild bronchiectasis but they havent joined the dots on the other health problems I have such as being on methotrextate for r.a. or high bp etc which I think changes my category, so registered and the letter that came told me to contact my gp, they said they only thing they could do was to send me a letter stating my health conditions. The system hasnt been thought through properly x
