...phoned at about 10.30am and my app was for 3.30pm. The poor girl who phoned to cancel got a bit of an earful - I told her what I thought of Atos and that I'd be contacting my MP amongst other things - and she promised to pass on my remarks to her team leader as soon as she got off the...

...changed it before or after I was initially assessed and placed in the support group (they kept changing their minds as to whether I was on income or contributions based until at least February, just before i was atos assessed for this claim; everything since then has confirmed I'm on income...

Were you in the support group or wrag?

OK... Again, if it helps reassurance wise, I've been transfered from contributions based to income based in the past without it triggering a new questionnaire/atos assessment.

:)

You're not being paranoid. Ian Duncan Shit and Atos ARE out to get you. :mad:

Excuse my language here but For Fucks Sake!!!! Just got a call from ATOS cancelling my appointment because guess what, no fucking doctor available again!! Useless Motherfucking Bastards couldn't organise a 3 way in an orgy!! :mad::mad:

I was on IB but got assessed for the switch to ESA early last year. Bastards are after me again though now which is strange considering all the news saying ATOS were finished (see my other thread)

OK, that makes (sort of) sense. I haven't had an ATOS assessment. What are the consequences of being put in the work group or the support group? Maybe scifisam will be able to give me the benefit of her experience :)

I might be misunderstanding your post :hmm: - it's usually the atos assessment results that decide whether you're in the support group or the work related activity group (although I've heard of decisions being made without an atoms assessment being carried out, but think that's quite rare). I...

Not 100 % sure sorry.. no doubt someone will know

This is something seperate from an ATOS assessment (which I also haven't had), right? Does it normally happen after the ATOS assessment, or is there no particular order or logic to it? I'd be interested to know if anyone else has had this experience. It doesn't say we're going to do this as a...

:mad: Best of luck on Monday.

No sign yet of my MP getting back in touch informing me that he's had stern words with the DWP/ATOS and as a result I don't have to attend on Mon. Maybe I credit him with having more power than he actually does. Oh well, so much for wishful thinking eh...

...up the economy or who is worse off between the public/private/third sectors etc etc. If you do, or you have anything else you wish to rant about kindly start your own thread. This is about ATOS and the fact they are still doing assessments despite the Gov clearly stating they are unfit to do so

...any confusion, but your earlier posts seemed to lack empathy, sympathy or compassion. That hasn't stopped them being found fit to work by Atos. Or those with critical conditions or progressive conditions too, for that matter. A friend of mine in her mid 60s had cancer. She had had...

I'm intelligent - I'm well and have a degree - but I needed help filling out forms for my partner - who couldn't deal with them. We no longer qualify /can get this help - so I'm grateful to the Atos thread on Urban in helping me fill out the last form.

yes I had been wondering who had taken over the contract - so I'm glad you made us aware. You should be able to get a job with ATOS no trouble with those sorts of attitudes. It's a stressful process, even if you don't have to appeal. Stress isn't helpful to many medical conditions.

Despite Zippy's rantings(annoying yet amusing as they are) I didn't post this thread to illicit sympathy. I did so to bring it to the attention of anyone under the illusion like I was that ATOS were finished

We may be going off on a bit of a tangent here, but it depends on what you take as the meaning of sympathy. There are at least two distinct meanings feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune. understanding between people; common feeling. While I can imagine effective...
