BENEFITS EXPERT: Will my chemo affect the need for a benefit medical assessment?

Q. I am claiming New Style ESA and understand I will require a medical assessment after 13 weeks. I have heard of people failing these and I am concerned I may fail my medical. I am currently receiving treatment for cancer and this includes ongoing chemotherapy. Will this make any difference when it comes to my assessment?
