I've rung ATOS to say I won't be attending, and put it in writing as a back up. They said they thought the DWP'd likely accept my reason as valid, although they can't promise obv. Some hope, fingerscrossed.
...suggested I ring them there and then and explain the person I need to accompany me can't come and ask for a reschedule. I did. It says on Atos's website they'll only rearrange once, so I wasn't hopeful. And the answer was no. (My therapist was surprised at their inflexibility, I wasn't)...
I Largely expect you to have three contradictory letters that will leave you more confused.
So if you're leaving them for another few days it won't really matter ;)
I got 3 letters from the DWP yesterday just in time for the bank holiday. :eek::mad:
Think I will wait until after Tuesday to open them as I've got to go for a colonoscopy that day as a result of bowel problems caused by ATOS PIP assessment back in July. :(:eek::(
The "false flag" idiots have been really pissing me off on this subject. Most of them don't grasp that a government doesn't need to stage an atrocity, merely to take advantage when one happens, and we can be absolutely assured that May and her cabinet will take FULL advantage of this...
...brought in to make us "more secure".
It's going to be fucking odious watching Thersa May wander the hospitals offering "sympathy". Many of the survivors will face either years of recovery, or permanent disability; if May wins some of these poor kids could face ATOS assessment in a few years...
...to apply give it a go. Health conditions can be expensive for all sorts of reasons. To get an idea I would read the desciptors the DWP live by.
Be ready to have to convince Atos et al at some point,
This thread is really for people going through benefit, including PIP and ESA, type scrutiny.
They really are cutting back pure scum if you go to appeal and follow the
right path I am 80 % sure you will get what you are due they were really nice to
me on appeal and know how bad the DWP /Atos can be.
Ho ho ho.
This electio has it's brighter moments in between stories of babies being fed watered-down milk, foodbanks, suicides, ATOS et al. He's some grinning prick asking celebs who they wanna vote for in the street...and he's got cardbpard cut-outs! HILARIOUS!:rolleyes:
...the assessment centers from the TOSSers. I've demanded a home visit as I'm currently on laxatives following the problems caused by my PIP face2face with ATOS and said I won't be held responsible for any mess created if they don't agree to a home visit. :)
Anyone had any experience with crapimus?
You're joking! Not another one? I don't believe it!
Poor blighter had to undergo a work capability assessment earlier just this very afternoon.

And CBT delivered generically by people with no BABCP accredited training in three hours is many things, but it isn't really CBT in any meaningful sense. It's rather like saying counselling is a natter on the phone with a well meaning mate.
Anyway the cynicism of this while mh services are...
A decent start would be to stop the reliance on piecemeal poundland treatments, provided by people who affiliate with the likes of ATOS, in the form of quick fix 3 hour CBT courses.
Got a CAB appointment to do my mandatory reconsideration on the 21st. Got a copy of the ATOS assessment as well. It would be twice as long if it included all the things he was told and didn't include in it. I'm not happy about having had my medical history assessed by a paramedic, either, given...
