Yep. They may/will get very bored with you saying "yes, I can do *****, but it immediately causes me pain/fatigue/to want to kill Tories, and I can only do it once or twice in a day before I'm in too much pain/am too fatigued/have killed enough Tories to be knackered", but that's just tough...

^^^^All of that works, as does having support with you (moral support is very helpful in making you feel less overwhelmed), and NOT letting them set the pace of the interrogation assessment. They WILL try to rush you, so you may have to deploy the "I'm a poor little dumb crip" card, or make sure...

and if you can't then you get your benefits stopped for not attending. like if you 'withdraw' from the assessment because you're having a heart attack (story for those who've not seen it before) i'm running out of suitable words for this shower of cunts others are better informed than me...

What ever question they ask eg 'can you do this task?' Atos tend to take the slightest hint that you can do something as proof you can just do it all the time. Remember to say if you can only do it sometimes, or not for long, or only with help, or only on a good day (the law says you have to...

ViolentPanda ? Do have somebody with you, partly for moral suport, and partly to help keep the ATOS person honest (under another pair of eyes and ears). Don't hurry to the door, and don't hurry back from it either. Don't spruce yourself up at all. Don't try to be stoical or brave.

I have an Atos home visit scheduled for Friday morning; supposing it's a "good" day, I'm feeling shit right now: other than not offering a cup of tea and tips and advice on how I get through this?

Apology accepted but could you please just lay off the breathless rhetoric for a bit when post? Or post in a way that doesn't assume nothing is being done. Thanks.

I don't think I have, though I'm sure posters will find examples, I'm aware for instance the work you do around ATOs, etc, advice, etc, apologies if I have individualised it.

Absolutely. Also, when ATOS had to cancel on VP after he'd turned up (lack of the requested recording equipment), the bloke in charge at that branch said that because it was the centre's fault, there'd be no problem getting a refund (there ought not to have been anyway since VP couldn't use...

All the best. Hope it goes well for you.

Best of luck for tomorrow. :) Not that luck should come into it, but justice should.

well date one, with the DWP tomorrow 10.30 ATOS eas medical trying to get into the support group, knowing my luck they will say i`m fit to work :facepalm: well chin up having an early night got to be up at 5 am

ATOS might think twice before taking the piss

Imagine if people try to go on strike at some point :(

... and I thought you were taking the piss when you said ATOS had been brought in for work capability assessments.

...issue with the idea of barely-trained callcentre operatives having to field suicidal clients (and a pretty cynical view of the standard of ATOS's in-house counselling service for DWP staff), the questions they are being told to ask fall pretty reasonably within the standard protocols for most...

...It wasn't the prince of meals but it was nice. Just couldn't be arsed to cook better and mum didn't make nothing because she's screwing about seeing ATOS tomorow and can't cook or do much except cry. Shared my Tucs though. Normal food service will be resumed soon though, either by me or her.

^^^^This!

...them where to look, and your answers won't be doing much more than confirming your written evidence from your paperwork. they know you think atos are shit and the assessment is unfair, that is why you are there, and they won't be in the slightest bit interested in hearing a rant about that...

he's done well. I know who the bloke is and looked him up. I haven't met him, but facebook is telling me we have a bunch of very, very sound mutual friends. i may well have to pop into the next meeting that his group hold to say hi. cause they meet in the pub where my cat is a regular. we got...
