Hey all, I am in remission now from October last year, I have had the all clear to this month which is good news, my main question is am I still classed as having a disability if I am all clear.
i have had a neck dissection also tors back of throat tonsil removal with chemo and radio.
Hi I’ve just passed the 5.5 year point I was classed as being in remission up to the 5 years mark. Now I am classed as all clear. I’ve never thought of myself as having a disability.

am I still classed as having a disability if I am all clear.
Were you ever classed as disabled?
Are you all clear or in remission? There is a big actuarial difference.
Like Hazel I was never classed as disabled while I was in remission
