While I hate to say I can see their side of things (Atos, dammed if they do send a form out, dammed if they don't) surely the person with mental health issues support worker/friend/relative can fill the questionnaire in on their behalf? That's the whole reason for the being a section for this on...

Because in my opinion they don't want them to be available. More recordings would likely mean more cases overturned on appeal, although arguably they shouldn't have to be appealed in the first place.

Why don't Atos simply get more machines, so they are avaliable? they have enough money It sound to me like they are playing mind games with claimants.

I wholehearted agree it's necessary - an essential requirement - but in all of this scifisam is the first person I've heard of actually successfully managing to get their recording made. There was a post a long time ago on this thread about even though there's one machine per centre (and...

The above is the sort of reason why I encourage people to keep a file of any and all letters with regard to medical appts, outcomes etc - it makes it easier to have something to hand to stick up their nose if they try to pull shit like this. With regard to home visits etc, the appointment...

I would imagine you'd still be able to make those requests, and rearrange the medical. Please don't turn this into your next anxiety focus.

Me, I come on this thread exactly because reading it makes me upset - it fuels my conviction to not let those bastards trample over me, or over other claimants.

...stated that some claimants, when the dwp deems them due for reassessment, are not being sent out an ESA50, but are being sent out a letter from Atos inviting them to a face to face medical. This would be a big problem, because, the ESA50 gives you chance to say how you would like things to...

Sorry your not so good ((Chris.H.1961)) Glad your MP has bothered to get in touch. Fingers crossed for next time.

I don't come on this thread that often, simply because reading about it makes me upset/scared, etc, when I hear what shit the dwp/atos try to pull on people, but I wish, all of you going through this horrible process have as smooth a time as possible.

It came across like ATOS have one person per assessment centre to cover all requests (at the centre and in peoples' homes), and that they have to book the recording equipment from a central store. In other words, the DWP and the ATOSsers have designed it to be a difficult process in order to...

...It's been a few days with not much happening and haven't been feeling too hot so I thought I'd take a break. Anyway my MP contacted me today for some more info before he gives Atos a bollocking. Not sure what good it will do as they have already sent me yet another appointment for early Oct..

Has anyone ever got a recording first time round without having to check it and rebook it? I'm guessing not given the number of machines that must still be working.

Update to update: Was told to expect a 9.30AM phonecall from ATOS's audio recorder-wallah. at 10.11AM I started phoning them on the direct-line number I was given yesterday. After 5 attempts I finally got through, and guess what? That's right, they couldn't record the assessment today...

Benefits and Work are right. Not to put too fine a point on it, how do we (claimants) know that this (no forms being received) isn't yet another tactic by DWP to cut the number of claimants, by allowing their claims to run out?

...some claimants are not receiving an ESA50 form at the expected time. Instead of staying quiet like I would, B&W are advising them to contact Atos to ask. To me, this is inviting the horrible process of the WCA, whereas if they had waited, they may have had a bit of extra time on ESA, due to...

As you are in the support group, you should be on contributions based esa

No, what ever you do breathe in AND out

...again because of no Doc, and this time I was sent away with an assurance that my next date would deffo be with a Doc. When the app arrived ATOS had fucked up the venue again so after a phone call, still with assurances I'd get to see a Doc, it was arranged for 15th Sept. Hey presto 15th...

I am so sorry to hear that, there is just a possibility that they will re look at the evidence and make a decision based on that. Going back to my long process (which ended in me winning my appeal) I was called for re test about 2 months after I was placed in support group, it was an error and...
