...their facts wrong over stories they printed but have so far been ignored. And I still can't get an adequate answer as to why the head honcho's of DWP, having stood up in parliament and said ATOS were unfit for purpose and were having their contract terminated early, are allowing them to continue

...you down, and do keep on insisting that you see a doc for the assessment if your condition requires it. Must say I thought media hype about ATOS losing the contract meant it would happen soon - didn't realise they could go on so long. What was all that rubbish about them being in crisis and...

...I have enough cause to complain to my MP. And as you can see from my last message the DWP said they sent the forms prior to Jan 20th and all ATOS say is they only assess people DWP send them. ATOS btw proved yet again today that they are unfit for purpose, by sending me a new date at the...

...too. Really sorry to hear they are mucking you about. Good luck with the complaint, and do keep complaining. I was accompaning someone to an ATOS assessment (she could not go on her own and I'd booked time off work to go) that was cancelled twice, at very short notice and I managed to get my...

Nice to see the Kiev Govs got its very own Comical Ali now: http://uacrisis.org/rnbo-53/ 15,000 tons of coal stolen and transported by road to russia in the middle of their own anti terrorist operation :D

...the door I was waiting by only to tell me I'd have to use the main entrance, even though the sign on the main entrance door said anyone wanting ATOS had to wait where I was. I was first to give my info in in the waiting area followed by 5 other people who all got called in to see someone...

They're even more useless than the old system (helped by their crap decision-making program). They don't seem to be able to handle any sort of fluctuating health problem, or people with multiple health issues. I'm so looking forward to my assessment!

ATOS round here (i live not too far from you) are seemingly quite bad but sadly quick... know of a few people who have fallen foul of them including a mate who has half a lung had a heart attack plus various other bits who apparently is fit for work... however you may get lucky and get the...

Sounds like ATOS' method for prioritising their workload involves a dartboard and a blindfold. Of course there could be some areas where the backlog is better or worse than others. If the ATOS office in Glasgow is ten thousand claims behind schedule they can't exactly phone the Guildford office...

Not sure if the backlog of new claims has been cleared up - I started a new claim for ESA almost exactly a year ago and have yet to hear anything from DWP/ATOS/anyone else about being assessed. And welcome Chris.H.1961

I was told by one of the Atos staff when I phoned that they are carrying on until contract was due to originally end, ie Aug 2015, so where is the early termination? If they are still dealing with ESA50s from over a year ago why did I get seen when mine was sent in Feb this year? Maybe I have...

I submitted my ESA50 in August last year (so-called "transfer" from Incapacity Benefit to ESA), and have an appointm,ent for assessment a couple of days after the OP. If they're only dealing with ESA50s submitted over a year ago now, then they've still got a way to go in clearing that backlog...

One thing that hasn't been mentioned by the government, or by the ATOSsers if I recall correctly, is the date from when their disengagement from their contract takes place. I suspect they'll be obliged to continue providing services until the new winning bidder comes on-stream and/or their...

welcome aboard :)

It seems like the DWP decided to stop Atos from doing reassessments back in February because of the huge backlog of new claims and people moving to ESA from IB. It was described as an 'operational decision' rather than a policy decision, meaning that they could change their minds again in the...

Thanks Greebo but nothing there answers my questions. 1) The gov stood up in Parliament and told everyone Atos were unfit for purpose and were having their contract terminated early. They clearly aren't. They are continuing until Aug 2015. 2) The DWP leaked memo said anyone who is already in...

...sorry to hear about what's brought you here. Best of luck with the reassessment. You might find this thread of use, no need to read the whole thing, just read the first few pages, then skip to the end. :) http://www.urban75.net/forums/threads/atos-medicals-questions-answers-and-support.287181/

All this talk of ATOS not doing reassessments because of this or that reason are driving me insane. I was awarded ESA May 2013 after being moved from IB and was placed in support group. I was originally told I wouldn't be reassessed for at least 12 months so imagine my surprise to get another...

ATOS makes them :(

himself had only seen this bloke once, maybee twice before. but he :rolleyes: enough for the bloke that dosren't notice body language to see when atos were mentioned. and called at nearly 8pm, himself,to say he had completed a letter fort the home visit. so i think the impressive nature of the...
