Dear all, enough of guesses and informed speculation - all questions regarding what is & isn't a prescribed disease are answered in seconds by googling prescribed diseases and taking the first hit, the DWP website. For TB: Prescribed disease B5: any job involving: Tuberculosis. TB infection. Contact with a source of tuberculous infection. For example, doctors, nurses, ambulance crews, pathology technicians and social workers. Can we call that an end to the thread?
