Sorry do I need to inform ESA or job seekers or someone else in the DWP regarding a complete change of medication and also being put onto antidepressants I was not allowed ESA crazy face to face gave me no points although shortly after I had a face to face for PIP and I was awarded standard in both parts have now been put onto morphine patches morphine tablets and antidepressants instead of Co-codamol and ibuprofen painkillers and amitriptyline just so confused seem to be getting the complete runaround with DWP

Only if it changes your care and /or mobility needs or in the case of ESA / JSA, what you're capable of doing.

Hi @happynotme, hopefully an employment advisor will be in touch soon with further information for you.

Thank you
I have worked with this for the last 20 plus years not taking advice from hospital consultant's thinking you're able to carry on but I think with age I am unable to cope with it anymore I think the pain grinds you down over prolonged periods -
