Are you going to ask for mandatory reconsideration? Sorry you were treated so poorly :(

The person at ATOS who did my assessment was (seemingly) really kind and supportive. I was very anxious during the interview, shaking the whole time. I thought that I had managed to get my case across, and left the interview slightly less nervous than at the start. It was only when I received...

They may ask innocent sounding questions like 'did you get here OK?'. A typically British answer of 'fine, thanks' is anecdotally reported as being used as evidence the claimant can travel around by themselves with no issues. Do not be afraid to ask what actual health care experience they gave...

...asked innocent sounding questions eg one about smoking - but we had been warned that to answer she could 'roll her own' might translate in the Atos mind to something like 'is manually dexterous' Grlf was nervous as hell and shaking like a leaf so obviously incapable of rolling her own that...

A shiny square quid says they'll "have no note of the request" and will press to continue the interview without recording equipment. So record the session covertly, and make notes blatantly. Then, if you need to, you can update the notes from the recording afterwards. Because they're cunts.

Tomorrow I have to accompany someone to their ESA /ATOS assessment as they suffer from severe anxiety with depression and wouldn't be in a place to attend if they didn't have support. I believe they have asked for the interview to be recorded and ATOS (or whoever the new cunts are) informed them...

I agree that Yyvette Cooper is a despicable wanker for the reasons you outlined, but she hasn't been "invited back in" to the Shadow Cabinet by Corbyn. All thats happened is that the Telegraph has quoted "sources close to Yvette Cooper" as saying she would "consider" being shadow home secretary...

He should invite your mates in the DUP in

...had to widen his Shadow Cabinet, I am very uneasy about Yvette Cooper being invited back in. She is the former Employment Secretary who invited ATOS to undertake the brutal medical tests, created the Kafkaesque 'invisible wheelchair' test(Google it) and generally created a much more...

You mangy pair of liberals!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: What's with these quick maimings and killings, eh? The only way to treat these bottom-feeding "Healthcare Professionals" is to do everything slow and steady, savouring their screams, all the while telling them "that doesn't really hurt. You're...

If you did you'd still get awarded 0 points for being a danger to others. :facepalm::mad::(

...credit assessments are gonna hit me soon. Even though after the gov said no more 'forever awards' would be given, and reassessed everyone using ATOS (just before PIP was intro'd), I was actually awarded the continuing award and have had no further assessments since. I do consider myself...

Mine is usually a biro to the carotid :D (Liked your other post for the positivity of making decisions, not the tired and rubbish bits, if that makes sense)

Losing it on the mental health question and atos bastards.

I probably could now tbh. I just don't know if I could stop myself from vaulting across the desk and stabbing the interviewer repeatedly in the eyeballs with my specially sharpened pencil. It is my favourite ATOS fantasy.

...PIP takes so much energy. So so much. That's why you need support. Not so much for your application but because it's a lot harder on your own. I couldn't be arsed with it in the end. I know I'm eligible, just cannot be doing with even being in that building, never mind speaking to an ATOS person.

Where in the UK is your appointment? If you're near me in Glasgow I can come with you if it's the afternoon. This is such a shitty fucking process, it is designed to hurt people not help them . the cockwombling fucktards. Eta: I see you have decided not to go. Hope you feel a bit better now.

Thanks WouldBe, don't worry too much looking for it. The ATOS faq says you can change it once, and that's what they told me on the phone. Maybe it's got more stringent, or maybe it's down to the reason you cancel. Thanks fishfinger and Celyn

When I had my DLA to PIP assessment with ATOS, they cancelled the first appointment. I had to cancel the second appointment and I managed to turn up for the third. I'm sure it said somewhere in one of the letters that you were allowed to reschedule twice and if you didn't attend the third...

Oh, all fingers and toes crossed. If ATOS thinks DWP will be OK, I'd think it will be, ATOS not being known for excessive optimism. What a damn hassle, though. :( But for now you get to breathe for a few days /weeks.
