I was told that if I feel my condition worsens I can inform DWP then fill in another form and/or go to another medical (I assume there would have to be additional medical evidence)? Then if it's refused to appeal and ask for reconsideration then go to a Tribunal which can take some months - it took me 10 months.

It is worth contacting the Job centre and seeing where you stand on this. If you can get medical eveidence to support that fact you are getting worse then all well and good, without it you may not fair so well. xxxxx

make sure you let DWP know straight away, because if they change you over and you are due extra money they won back date t, so make them aware if your condition has got worse as soon as you can xx
