    Atos Medicals - Questions, Answers and Support

    Dear God, it would be funny if people's lives weren't directly affected. And as for the changing sex half way through, I have no words. You raise an interesting question though - what happens to the dwp copy of recordings once made? Obviously the claimant copy is kept by the claimant. I...

    ...to opening the pack of information from the DWP for my PIP tribunal. Makes interesting reading. Apparently I change sex at one point in the ATOS assessment. :eek: Nurse notes I walked to assessment room by leaning on the wall but then concludes there is nothing wrong with my walking ability...

    Tram overturns in Croydon - several deaths reported [Nov 2016]

    1 and 3 have been on almost all trams for the past 100 years. 2 is common in more modern systems, but usually as a maximum speed limiter rather than something like ATO. It's not going to be something silly like leaves on the track, either. Your standard track brake will normally grip the rail...

    Schools break law by excluding autistic pupils

    And the point I was making, which I will assume zippyRN accidentally failed to realise, was that this disconnection - the extra layer - provides DWP with the perfect excuse to shit on claimants. There are too many stories of the DWP saying "we were going on the information from the assessment to...

    Schools break law by excluding autistic pupils

    ...data, they'd get more decisions right, and more than half adverse decisions wouldn't be taken to appeal, with almost two-thirds being won. Sadly, too many of the assessors employed by Atos, Maximus etc, do not do their jobs properly. Not because they're incompetent, but because they're lazy.

    How much money is the govt actually saving by relentlessly pursuing sick people like this? when they take into account paying Atos or who ever and the cost of all the appeals surely theres not much of a saving to the public purse? Read today that the results tax of pursuing over 6000 the...

    Ken Loache's film, I Daniel Blake, (Film about uk benefit regime) wins Palme d'Or.

    Liked, but well, y'know... RIP to all of 'em, but the fuckers who launched this system, from New Labour onwards can rot in hell.

    Ken Loache's film, I Daniel Blake, (Film about uk benefit regime) wins Palme d'Or.

    ...Below are some of his 'achievements'; Larry Newman suffered from a degenerative lung condition, his weight dropping from 10 to 7 stone. Atos awarded him zero points, he died just three months after submitting his appeal. Paul Turner, 52 years old. After suffering a heart attack, he was...

    Why no contactless/Oyster card payment outside London?

    Manchester is supposed to have one, aka 'Noyster', but somebody (ATOS?) fucked up the project and now we don't. You can buy tickets on your phone though, or with contactless at the machines, it's not that bad. Just no retrospectively calculated fares. Then again it turns out London is only...

    The DWP are nothing but piss taking bullies. I truly hope your Sister has got enough support around her to challenge this ridiculous decision.

    ...rate, she has been awarded 0 points for PIP. :mad: Is this becoming the standard to award 0 points initially? :mad: Perhaps if the DWP want to save money they could cancel all the ATOS / capita contracts and sack all their assessors and just get a computer to award 0 points to everyone...

    ...although the DWP have generally respected this. I'm not sure how this works for mandys (mandatroy reconsideration) ? I also know that as ATOS ran a separate system which triggered the automated letters to call you for re-assessment than the DWP who were making or receiving decisions from the...

    Have just noticed its been just over 3 years since a certain persons last atos assessment leading to ESA in the non work group. Is it just luck? are there guidelines on how often they do this? A lot of you seemed to have been re assessed more often.
