Unless you count making somebody need more healthcare as a direct consequence (and believe you me it is direct) of going through the form and the assessment. :hmm:
...- You don't want someone to feel sorry for you, you want someone who can do their job to a decent standard. But that's got nothing to do with ATOS and the ESA assessment which, as has already been mentioned, aren't fit for purpose for reasons already outlined by other posters & have nothing...
...I was imagining, so didn't pay full attention to the meaning.
It seems like a classic example of Newspeak to suggest that those carrying out ATOS assessments are engaging in "healthcare practice".
When you go to your GP with a problem, and they attempt some diagnosis and treatment, that is...
Oh bollocks. Yes, there probably are some 'presumptive twats' here - that's the internet for you. But there's also one person who seems to be bending over backwards to defend a system that is completely unfit for purpose and has a long and well publicised track record of finding people fit to...
ATOS is still heavily recruiting for 'disability analysts' - as found in my inbox yesterday.......
"Dear Felixthecat
On behalf of Atos healthcare, I write with information regarding local employment and opportunities for Physiotherapists. We have interview availability for just two weeks which...

No i don't work for ATOS as my own health, personal and professional Issues have kept me out of clinical practice for the past 2 years. I don't work for Capita either ( see previous post...
This is true. The proportion of MH cases being overturned on appeal is sky high, and it's one reason why a court ruled last year that ATOS assessments disadvantage those with mental health conditions. Needless to say, the government is dragging the whole business with appeals for as long as it...
nobody defends atos that hard unless they work for them and are lying to themselves so they can look themselves in the eye when shaving of a morn.
because lets face it, working for atos isn't far off scabbing.
Well that was a pleasant surprise. Just had a look in my email inbox and have received a response from my MP.
He says he will take up with ATOS the mismanagement of my latest WCA, and asked if I'd claimed travel ex's.
My reply:
ATOS, as far as I know, will reimburse travel costs if...
...Plenty of so-called HCP's yet none of them felt they could carry out a fair assessment.
((Have you ever been on the receiving end of a WCA by ATOS or another firm? Or do you, as I suspect, work for one of those firms carrying out the assessments?))
3. If you bother doing some research, a...
On what basis do you make your assertion that the assessor does not haver a relevant professional qualification ?
with their name and profession a of primary registration you can quite easilty check if they are registered and in the case of Nurses usually which Branch - although the...
Good. I'm currently helping a good friend challenge a DWP decision to remove his sickness benefit, following an ATOS assessment so flawed it would almost be funny if it weren't so sad. The assessor had neither relevant qualifications nor professional experience, and his report was littered...

2a. I don't know aobut ATOS but the Capita contract for the PIP assessors recruitment material states it will not process applications from anyone with any current...
Thanks FoD.
I may be setting myself up for a whole bunch of trouble by constantly questioning ATOS and the DWP's decisions/actions etc, but I just don't feel like sitting back and accepting their b/s anymore.
It's one of those places that does outsourced work for the government and emergency services etc, defense is included in that. It's a smaller outfit and definitely not ATOS.
I turned them down but they're now offering me work on non-defence related projects only.
Id do it if were no other options. Whilst recently unemployed, i kept seeing a job i could have done advertised at atos. I like to think they didnt have enough applicants.
