It's incredibly frustrating but point out that it's already in pack of stuff sent to them. You can always send another copy because you are nice and helpful ;)
Got a letter from the tribunal service the other day dated Apr 1st thanking me for the CD of the ATOS assessment and the phonecall requesting the assessment be recorded which they have passed to the judge. Judge has asked if a typed (transcript) copy is available. They already have it and have...
...worried my benefits will get stopped, as I was supposed to be assessed in june 2015 but I must have been put on that 2 year deferrment list when atos left, so I guess june 2017 is my new ESA assessment date. i am worried about not qualifying for PIP when I move from DLA to PIP, as they have...
Thank you for telling me what my views are and expressing them so vivaciously!
My actual view is I will fail every WCA with Nil Points - no ifs no buts! I will then be awarded Nil points at Mandatory Reconsideration - no ifs no buts! Out of all my appeals for ESA only 1 has gotten as far as...
Perhaps Ergo Proxy lives in an alternate reality where ATOS and Maximus's assessors are for the most part fair and decent people who aren't at all motivated by giving shitty service so that they can cram in as many assessments as possible. Unfortunately, most of us live in a world where if we...
Yes I did this. Assessor had no problems with me using 2 tape recorders. Different story as far as DWP are concerned. They claimed I'd not asked permission to do it and recorded the assessment secretly. :facepalm:
...assessment was although there had been a diagnosis there had been very little treatment offered, and finally, no help or support at all. This Atos assessment wasn't a therapy session, there wasn't any support or back up after this. Even the BBC does a 'If you were affected by any of the...
Given that they have been perfectly willing to accept dual tape recorders - either one deck or two separate decks - previously, then the stipulation only applies to identical recordings. Your interpretation is entirely reasonable. I recorded my own "assessment" on two separate (different model...
Question:
The ATOS website says that a claimant's recording kit has to be able to produce two identical recordings. It says nothing about using two identical tape recorders with identical tapes , both running at the same time.
Would it be a reasonable interpretation to say, if they refused to...
...yer aware of the fact that they DO actually want you to die cus it saves money - they couldnt give a fuck abpout anything other than their targets and this line of questioning shows their hand.
i got asked by me therapist and answered, if it was atos I woulda screwfaced and went you what...
Fuck no, I don't work for ATOS! In all seriousness, I'd get flung out of my professional body for bringing the profession into disrepute if I took an ATOS assessor job...
No, what I mean, and probably didn't put very clearly, is that it can be necessary to talk through with a client how they've...
sorry I don't know about you or your work - are you saying that you work for Atos and 'operate a supportive therapeutic environment'?
Or that you are therapist asking 'what got you through' in the context of a therapy session?
Hi, just popping in to ask a question for a friend. Not ATOS, still bastards.
He has been claiming ESA/incapacity for quite a while but recently got a job which unfortunately he was let go from today. I think this job lasted less than a month, it was supposed to be permanent. Does anyone...
Very ill mate has assessment coming up in less than a fortnight.
I need advice as to how best to present and represent himself.
The loss of his DLA would kill him.
it was an assessment for the PIP benefit. A job I suppose someone has to do but no need to use under-hand tactics to try and disqualify a claim and treat even genuine claimants with contempt.
...in order to reassess your DLA claim? Or was this for treatment?
Have you got anyone who can help you go to the assessment centre? Beware, what Atos/maximus/shite private comanies do is not a 'medical', though I think they may call it a 'medical assessment' it is only an assessment for your...
Now going through the ATOS assessment. Very sad indeed. Been on DLA for many years after horrendous cancer journey and major operation. The young Occupational Therapist visited my home for an assessment/fact finding mission and I later discover the assessment was abandoned because they felt...
I vote email so there is a record. You can always follow up with a phone call. tell them in the email that you would like a home appointment and recording.
I'm debating whether or not to call or email ATOS to see if they have set an appointment date yet. If I email there'll be an electronic paper trail that could prove useful at an appeal or mandatory reconsideration. I'm also concerned that they'll try to send me to an assessment centre far away...
