...what tricks the DWP have up their sleeves and it can depend very much on where you live and how busy that WCA Centre is and who it is run by (Atos or Capita). They will try their best I reckon to re-arrange as soon as possible so that they can again refuse your claim and make you go through...

Yeh I'd have thought most people using the NHS are unwell in some way

Disabled and sick people are aware of that, ATOS, Maximus, making life changing decisions.

Interesting nothing about his time at the DWP, ATOS, etc.

...have been a way of squaring the circle of it's remain voting and leave voting areas. But Labour should have been resisting austerity, fighting atos and the rest. Creating a better context for facing up to Brexit. Also, perhaps a bit hypocritical of me to say this, given that I've said we...

...is so shit - are they allowed to do this so soon? Welcome to Urban Paul007 I found these threads very helpful a few years back when I was helping someone ill their with Atos assessment. I'm not very knowledgable about these processes myself, but hopefully someone will be along soon who will know

I know this is an old post but I was awarded ESA in Jan then I got a form again to fill in April that same year, its a joke the DWP are doing reassessments ever year until you fail and they fail you even thought your unfit for work its a proper joke. Just read someone in a wheelchair and cldnt...

If anyone has had DLA/PIP stopped because of 'failing to attend a face to face assessment without good reason' (as I have), there's going to be a review of these cases because they fucked up (thankfully my situation was put right by taking it to appeal and I got DLA reinstated)... Bungling DWP...

Came across this the other day Bungling DWP announces seventh review of disability benefits errors in a year This is exactly what happened to me when I switched from DLA to PIP! Had my DLA stopped and my PIP claim ended for failing to attend without 'good reason'. I was on the point of going...

hope it goes well and you get the help you need.

Hope not iona, wouldn't think so. Good luck with it, and thanks, I didn't know that about them sending out the PIP forms so early, sigh, grrr.

I have a social care assessment to look forward to at some point (when I get round to completing the referral form :o). It can't be as shit as the Atos etc ones, right?

...Minimum wage was made necessary by increasing conditionality, job-seekers allowance, forcing single parents into work sooner, ESA, WCA and ATOS to force disabled people into the workforce.It helped some low wage people to break the ceiling but wages above it have sunk to the floor...

Surprising outcome: got the standard level personal care award, which I didn't have when on DLA, but knocked back for mobility (just got 4 points, whereas I had the upper level when on DLA). Financially, losing the mobility money but gaining personal care would leave me only about 5 quid a week...

A number of my friends are on the ‘people vs the government, DWP and ATOS’ FB group. Is this also run by Mike Sivier. It promotes a lot of his articles, plus a lot of ‘anti-Zionist’ stuff. Today it’s been promoting this article from ‘redpress’, decrying the attempts to ‘ruin the careers’ of...

...4.Now they are saying that the sick note from his GP/surgeon is not enough and they want their own doctor to assess him. I think maybe he means Atos or their replacement rather than an actual doctor. 5. He's not had any money from them at all. Even his little bit of HB was stopped. Now...

This thread is brilliant for support and advice around all aspects of sickness & disability benefits (ESA, PIP etc) from the initial application to the form filling and assessment appointment and beyond. There's some good online resources for filling in the form and assessment apt advice—any...

Good luck Wilf, and yes sounds like a good reason to appeal if you don't get what you think you should get for mobility.

I got Pipped this morning - previously had dla higher rate mobility component. The (atos) assessor was decent, non-confrontational and the like. Whilst I might get a couple of points on the personal care type questions, my claim was really about mobility. The interesting thing was she asked me...

As shit as conditions with atos etc in the uk. Globally we are streets ahead of treatment of the disabled BBC employ two wheelchairs presenters and one with a missing arm. Whereas outside of Western Europe the disabled are hidden away
