Does immune suppression include this? -

"Because of your physical or mental health condition or learning disability, there would be a substantial risk to the mental or physical health of any person, including you, if you were found not to have limited capability for work."

In itself, I would doubt it. Plenty of people work for years while immune-suppressed. It's the physical and mental symptoms that are important, not the therapy.

To be honest, I think ATOS would laugh at you!

What a pity ATOS don't look in the mirror. They're the biggest laughing stock there is after this government's attempts at welfare reform!

On a more serious note, I agree with Dblox. I'd emphasise how your disease and the drug regime and their effects affect your ability to work. Don't be frightened to stress how bad things are on a bad day rather than the opposite.

Good luck with your claim & healthy wishes.

Not what you're looking for?
