Hi welcome to Urban. I'm not an expert in these matters but that sounds like a good thing - if you look at the Atos medicals threads, you'll see a number of urbz wanted to be assessed by a doctor because they had complex health problems, but were seen by nurses, physios or other unqualified...

Welcome. I lurked for ages before joining too, and learned a lot from threads like this. I'm sad to hear you have no one to help you. Have you got a copy of the form from when you first claimed the benefit, even if that was a long time ago? It might remind you of why the benefit was given to...

...reassurance, guiding, or to help keep you safe 2) The assessment might be taped (ViolentPanda's was and that was a couple of months ago), but ATOS's new recording machines are supposed to record onto 2 CDs at the same time. You're given one copy to take home for your own use, and ATOS keep...

1) Hang on, it must have said which benefit this was about. Is your ATOS interview about DLA/PIP or about IB/ESA? 2) If you really have to go on your own, you should get it recorded. A recording will make it easier to appeal if you have to take things that far in order to get the help you...

hi~ I'm new here, though I've been a lurker on the site for a while : ) I've just received a letter from atos telling me i have an interview on friday (haven't opened post box for ages, so it may have been there a week or two). i have aspergers syndrome; i have zero support, no friends; the...

Benefits Street Former MPs who worsened the benefits system, ATOS employees (aka collaborators) and former DWP employees will be crowded together into one very long street and not allowed out until they've spent five years under the conditions they imposed on others. This will include...

Thanks for the link. BTW it's not working. http://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/jan/18/after-hated-atos-quits-will-maximus-make-work-assessments-less-arduous Then again, neither is the benefits system as it is. Saucissons et puree de pommes de terre avec jus instead of bangers and mash...

Not sure whether this is the best thread for this, but very interesting, and detailed, analysis by Amelia Gentleman in Monday's Guardian about Atos's succesor company, Maximus. After hated Atos quits, will Maximus make work assessments less arduous? (Short version of her answer -- NO...

Sadly, your past history doesn't get taken into account. Nobody's past history should. There are no "wrong people". Everyone has to pass the same tests to get the same benefits as you do, despite the stories some of the papers print. And yes, of course it's unjust. That's the idea - that if the...

i don't think a private arrangement like that should make a difference, firstly, no one here is going to make you justify why you should get any benefit. you don't need to tell us youre not a 'scrounger'. you are entitled to benefit because of your current illness/disability. secondly, if...

In this instance as the guidance is very clear and is a case of the advisers at the call centre knowing jack shit even though they should, I would be looking into the complaints procedure for the DWP. Besides, you may not be able to repeatedly send packs of information just because they're too...

...to him I am correct, I am without a doubt still entitled to ESA as a full time student as I am on DLA and have satisfyed the conditions of the ATOS medical. What is really annoying me is the ineptitude of the people I have spoken to on the phone at the contact center. Here's how the...

Hang in there it sounds like they are being utter pillocks about your esa

...about £9.00. I am so worried and my anxiety level is so high as suffer severely with anxiety,depression and IBS. I have been through 2 lots of ATOS assessments and Tribunals and won the last one for Support Group. I have worked over 37years until I was made redundant 6 years ago and been...

...aged under 19 and getting ESA in youth . You must continue to satisfy the medical test of limited capability for work' As I recently had an ATOS medical where I discussed the fact that I am a student at length plus attended a work related interview where they said they were O.K about me...

Oh ffs I would be very surprised if they can't access the archived information at all. If it no longer exists it's destroyed. I suspect the electronic records only go back so far and that information up to the start of the electronic records has been put in off site storage which might take...

...them all about it, I send them all the necessary info when I started the course when I was still on IB,then we discussed this at length at my ATOS medical, and at my work focused interview . When I explained this to the person on the phone this morning she said that they cant access the...

Thats bloody awful! I don't know have you've had the strength to deal with this twattery. Please don't let the bastards win.
