the information from an FCE can be used in many different ways and any party can request one including you.
whether it's "too soon" or not depends on what is needed.

An early FCE can be used fir many things.

1 To see how you progress during treatment

2 To see if your capable of any type of work with employer

3 For use of medical treatment

And the list goes on...
