I got my letter for assessment this morning and the dreadful fear that comes with it. This will be the third time I've been assessed but the first for two years. I have to admit I've been ignoring this thread since then, I didn't know ATOs was still doing it. Has the scoring changed since then?

Probably where they got their name from. "Couldn't give ATOS"

Not "bizarre", that's Atos covering their saggy arses. Much cheaper to compensate you, than to have you or buscador pop up in mass litigation a few years down the line, which while improbable, is not impossible.

...for her - she has been made so ill and nerveous by the stress of all, don't think they gave a toss about that. I'd booked time off work to accompany her - so I was told them how much inconvenience and lost wages it had cost me - and bizarrely ATOS sent me a cheque in compensation and apology.

Oh!!!!!!!!!!!! Hugs and stuff. So you get all that stress for nothing, plus knowing they're going to come up with another date. Yuk. :(

...they can use that excuse but it doesn't apply to people who are long term sick.:mad: IIRC if I fail to attend or re-schedule 2 appointments ATOS will write to the DWP that I've failed to co-operate. If they cancel this next appointment can I write to the DWP to say ATOS have failed to...

Show me dammit :mad:

the serco stuff is hair-pulling annoying. How do they and atos and g4s and crapita keep geeting the latest privatised gig? oh. Heres how

...calling them in for a 'medical' every year or so, but we're talking DWP and whatever private sector bunch of twunts who have taken over from ATOS, so common sense doesn't necessarily apply. I think there is a process for dealing with people for whom going for an assessment is likely to have...

I dunno what the problem is in using skincare tbh, but each to their own. If you don't give a shit about your skin or improvements one can make then this thread probably well ain't for you. I've managed to totally turn my skin around recently (dry with age and got contact dermatitis from...

...a 'health professional' employed by some bunch of private sector twunts contracted to the DWP. There is a long running thread about this here (ATOS were the main contractors for this) which is a good source of support and info. Quite how PIP works, I'm not entirely sure. I'd say that...

...when you were awarded indefinite DLA? Dig it out now. We took all medical letters from the last 10yrs with us, I'd copied all the significant ones and made Atos take them as evidence at the interview. We didn't have much recent evidence either - in fact we moaned about the lack of any nhs help.

...as it is possible to get. Unchecked handouts to those in work whose dependants are resident abroad, people with cancer being forced to grovel to ATOS to save their disability benefits. Frankly the state-run system is getting as much of a casino operation as private provision would be (not...

...don't change. (That'll be death then :) ) I had to let you know that I've now got it in writing and shall sleep better. The basis of this all goes back to the way I approached my dealings with ATOS. So a result and no more assessments, just self assessment. I wanted this thread to know.

...a choice between letting their kids starve or sucking some random off so you can buy them food, what about the choice between having another atos medical and going through the stress again or easily having sex for money to sustain yourself - you have to ask is that really a choice? because...

...differently in terms of the Work Capability Assessment. The staff seem more friendly at least in Leeds, genuine and the questions are nearly all about your actually health condition instead of your lifestyle. UI still don't trust the fuckers but I'd say they are at least 105 better than Atos...

...for air strikes. She sees no contradiction in spending her professional life trying to help sick people but then actively supports austerity, ATOS assessments, dismantling of the NHS etc etc. I know any profession is going to be a broad church but I do wonder about the people we are...

In my most vivid dreams we turn the tables on the scum who are engaged in harassing the less fortunate. i see all the best Urbanites controlling the spotlights, formulating the questions, and then posing them: "Can you remember when you decided to become a bullying intimidator of people with...

...@ 332 Brixton Road test for me 2 years ago was counting down in 11s from 120..... speaks volumes that service cuts now mean that the good old ATOS/Maximus assessment criteria is being adopted through out...... thank fuck for UNUM (satire) Hope you don't have to appeal but win rates are 60%+...

...saving grace of it all was Greebo, who didn't let him get away with anything, even when I was flagging. :cool: Oh yeah, latest euphemism for an Atos assessor is "disability analyst". :facepalm: He flinched and dissembled when Greebo asked his actual medical qualification/field right at the...
